Odeon Charles Friant ‘In the Groove’ 78 record plug-in Wall light
The Music Never Stopped — Now It Lights Your Room
Picture it on your wall: a genuine Odeon 78 record, pressed in an era when analogue was king and every groove told a story, now casting a warm glow across the room. The ridges that once carried a tenor's voice now catch the light in a way no ordinary fitting ever could.
About This Record
This light is built around an original Odeon 78 rpm record featuring the voice of Charles Friant — the celebrated French tenor who lived from 1890 to 1947. The record is interesting, not rare — and as little work as possible has been done to it, preserving its integrity and its history.
