For a long time now , we have been talking about rebuild one of those super rare model of booth, never seen anywhere, with, for only trace, a prototypical photo.


According to the legend, this model would be the last produced by Mutoscope compagny in the early 50s…


All that’s left is a black and white archive picture, floating forever in the meanders of Internet.


Thus, this is an interpretation of this mysterious model produced by the “International Mutoscope Compagny” in the Fotoautomat style.


For enthusiasts, this open booth is equipped with a suspended and perfectly non adjustable stool, an absolutely stainless steel slender structure, surmounted by a backlit diamond roof.

Distinguishing features :

  • Stainless steel framework.
  • Flashes ” With The New Electronic Speed Light”.
  • Aluminium ribbed baseboards in the Jean Prouvé style.
    Absolutely non adjustable suspended seat.
  • Accepts 1€, 2€ coins / contactless bank card.
