The Roland x Karimoku Kiyola Pianos

View all 9 Photos

Traditional wood-crafting techniques and cutting-edge technology come together in two beautifully designed pianos inspired by the concept of harmony.

Renowned Japanese companies Roland and Karimoku have been collaborating for years to produce the Kiyola series of artisan digital pianos, which includes the 2015 Good Design Award-winning KF-10 model. In 2026, the musical instrument manufacturer and the high-end furniture company have added two new pianos to the collection. Inspired by the concept of harmony and by the design of the KF-10, the KF-20 and KF-25 pianos blend Karimoku’s expertise in wood furniture manufacturing with Roland’s cutting-edge technology. Minimalist and elegant, the pianos double as design objects to fit into any living space.

Both models feature solid wood cabinets crafted in Japan using traditional methods; more specifically, the Hikimono and Sashimono woodworking techniques. Inside, the latest Roland Piano Reality Modeling technology and the PHA-50 keyboard ensure an immersive audio experience, warm tones, and an authentic playing feel.

The KF-20 model boasts soft lines and subtle curves. It comes in Pure Oak, Sheer White, and Walnut versions, as well as the more eye-catching Celadon Green. Inspired by Japandi, the KF-25 piano features sharper angles and clean lines, merging Japanese wabi-sabi with the functionality of Scandinavian design. Available in Smoked Oak, it brings a warm accent to any space. Both pianos come with an ergonomic bench that promotes good posture while playing and a three-pedal unit with sustain, soft, and sostenuto pedals, along with support for half-pedaling techniques. Other features include built-in speakers, two headphone jacks for playing in silence, USB ports, and Bluetooth connectivity.

While available worldwide through select Roland retailers, the Kiyola KF-20 and KF-25 pianos will be available to purchase in the US only through the MoMA Design Store, with prices starting at $5,719. Photography© Roland.
