10 years of sound renaissance
A dual promise: to save the treasures of the past by modernizing vintage radios, and to invent the future by creating PRODIGE®, a speaker designed never to be thrown away.
This is the story of a French passion for vintage and audio that lasts.
A family story
It all begins in 2013. Arthur receives a gift steeped in history: his grandfather's old radio. As he touches it, a wave of emotion washes over him. This object marked by time brings back childhood memories, voices from the past, shared moments. But the radio is mute. Impossible to make his music resonate.
Fascinated by the idea of reviving it without betraying its soul, Arthur embarked on a challenge with his father: to integrate current technology with respect and attention to detail. The sound is reborn. The charm remains. He now listens to his playlists, enveloped in a unique warmth , between heritage and modernity.
This unique moment will be the starting point for a much greater adventure. What if other forgotten objects could also be brought back to life? This gesture of love gave birth to A.bsolument: a brand driven by the desire to bring back to life what deserves to stand the test of time.
The promise of successful time travel
Modernizing old radios isn't just about adding Bluetooth. It's about creating a bridge between memory and the present.
Since 2015, we've been bringing sleeping objects back to life to offerlovers of sound, design and emotion a unique experience. Each piece, restored by hand, goes through three key stages: replacing the speaker, integrating a modern amplifier, and adding an invisible Bluetooth module. The result: an old-fashioned radio that sounds good, sounds loud, and reconnects memories with everyday life.
In 2023, this dedication to craftsmanship gives birth to a new collection: the eco-designed Bluetooth speaker PRODIGEBluetooth speaker, designed to last, evolve and integrate into the most demanding interiors. Voted "Design Product of the Year" by Red Dot Design and "Best of Design" by Marie Claire Maison.
A brand inhabited by meaning
Authenticity
Each vintage set we modernize is treated with deep respect for its history. Our mission: to preserve as much of the original elements as possible, while incorporating today's technology with finesse. Because these objects have a soul. They have stood the test of time, of eras, of generations. For us, modernization is not about erasing, it's about sublimating.
Durability
Bringing these radios back to life means pursuing an ancient dream: making objects designed to last. Far beyond trendiness or programmed obsolescence, our creations are designed to last through the decades, as much for the quality of their electronics as for the timelessness of their design.
Emotion
Our partnership with FOCAL, the world leader in high-fidelity audio, reflects our commitment to excellence. Each PRODIGE® loudspeaker, each modernized radio , is the fruit of craftsmanship combined with a passion for listening. What we aim to offer: a living, sincere, immersive sound experience.
