Topic: Interesting cabinet/case projects
With all of the talk on the forums about making our own piano cases, speaker cabinets, and soundboard transducers. Some of these projects might spark ideas or be of interest:
The "Resonance Piano" https://www.resonancepiano.com/en/
It's two soundboards, a transducer system, and an amplifier in a piano case. You provide the keyboard and sound input (I'd love to see a PTQ sample--the samples I've seen are mainly Roland keyboards with the Roland sound engine).
Example of a performance on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn5lYWM...=emb_title
You can hang it on a wall to make a giraffe-style of piano (giraffes were the first upright grands which were replaced by square pianos which were replaced by modern uprights):

The "Future Piano" https://www.futurepiano.co.uk/the-piano

It seems to be another giraffe take-of but with some interesting changes--including being very light like the original giraffes. While the solution isn't digital, it'll be interesting to see if the idea catches on or not.
Piano "shells" https://nashvillepianorescue.com/piano-shells
While not a very new idea (I have a harmonium in another office/studio that was converted into a computer desk), it's still interesting to see what others have done. Even if this site is rather over-prices in my opinion, considering the $250 as-is pianos I can buy at local rebuilding shops.
