The Chantal Meteor 200 is one of the most distinctive jukeboxes ever created. Manufactured in England from 1959, its unforgettable design was the work of French designers Jean Foufounais and André Deviaz. It was named after Foufounais’s wife, Chantal, while the word "Meteor" captured the era’s fascination with space and the future.

Its elegant, rounded body, transparent upper dome, and glowing light effects make it feel like the cockpit of a retro-futuristic spaceship. The records play beneath glass, where the mechanism moves with the precision and grace of a mechanical ballet.

The jukebox holds 100 records, offering 200 selections. While its internal components are based on American AMI machines, the look and atmosphere are entirely European — bold in form, yet refined in detail. Track selection is done via a rotating numbered dial and a mechanical push-button, creating a tactile, hands-on experience that adds to its charm.

Our particular unit has a unique story — it once belonged to Roger Chapman, lead singer of the British rock band The Family, a key part of the late ’60s progressive music scene.

Today, the Chantal Meteor 200 is considered one of the most rare and original jukeboxes in European history. It’s more than just a music machine — it’s a piece of design poetry and futuristic fantasy, imagined at a time when humanity was just beginning to look toward the stars.
