11 years of sonic renaissance
It's the story of a family passion for the vintage and audio that endures...
At A.bsolument, we make a double promise
Saving the treasures of the past by modernising with heart the vintage radios of yesterday, and inventing the future by creating PRODIGE®, a speaker designed to stand the test of time, never to be thrown away.
It is the story of a family passion, ours, for the vintage, audio and objects that have a soul.
It all begins in 2013
Arthur receives a gift: his grandfather's old radio. An object full of history, yet silent...
Touching it, a wave of emotion washes over him. Childhood memories resurface, voices from the past, the shared moments gathered around this set.
But playing his music of today was impossible. Should this witness of the past be left forever silent?
Arthur sets himself a challenge with his father: to carefully integrate modern technology into it.
It is no simple task: one must understand the old, master the new and find the perfect balance.
And then the sound is reborn. The charm remains intact.
Arthur can at last listen to his playlists, wrapped in this unique sonic warmth, that remarkable blend of heritage and modernity.
What if other forgotten objects, carrying similar stories, could also come back to life? From this gesture, A.bsolument is born: the desire to revive and to create what deserves to stand the test of time.
Of course, Arthur could have bought a brand-new speaker...
...Or let his grandfather's radio gather dust on a shelf.
But the emotion was too powerful, the bond too precious.
It was never about replacing - but about passing on.
Modernising vintage radios, it is not simply about adding Bluetooth. It is about creating a bridge between memory and the present.
Depuis 2015, our team of passionate craftspeople breathes new life into exceptional radios. Already more than 6,000 models have found a new lease of life in our hands.Arthur Verne
In the same spirit, and to invent the future of sound.
We imagined PRODIGE®
« Our own Bluetooth speaker, eco-designed, built to last and evolve with you ».
Recognised by the Red Dot Design Award and Marie Claire Maison, it embodies the perfect alliance between design, excellence and sonic emotion.
A brand, driven by meaning
What guides our every action:
Every vintage set is unique and we treat it with a deep respect for its history. We preserve as much of its original soul as possible while integrating technology with refinement. To modernise, for us, is to elevate, not to erase.
Breathing new life also means refusing the disposable. Our creations, whether the modernised radios or the PRODIGE® speaker, are designed to stand the test of decades, far from planned obsolescence. We believe in objects conceived to last.
Our partnership with Focal®, a world reference in high-fidelity audio, reflects our pursuit of excellence. Every piece is the fruit of artisanal expertise and a passion for listening. We seek to offer a sound experience that is alive, sincere and immersive.
