Jules Verne Merry-go-round

The Steampunk decoration

The “Jules Verne carousel” remain the great stories of the french author who helped pioneer the science-fiction genre, also “Steampunk carousel”.
 
Our carousels are welcoming the whole family with variable capacity of the passengers for a magical trip to revive a childish spirit still living inside of each.
 

By merging the technology and aesthetics of 19th-century steam-powered machinery, Concept 1900 has developed the series of steampunk merry-go-rounds, in name of Jules Verne: Iron skeleton, golden grids, sparkling lights, and retro style bringing to passengers a great imagination and a most dreamlike experience.

Tribute to Jules Verne Stories

These merry-gor-rounds are combining the “Belle Epoque” style of the 1900 century in France, and the “Victorian universe” with the creativity of retro-futuristic Jules Verne stories.

Steampunk intrigue takes place in a 19th century dominated by the first industrial revolution of coal and steam. We keep to use fiberglass decorations to reflect this industrial-style.

The rounding-boards are decorated with pictures dedicated to the Jules Verne Stories (Journey to the Center of the Earth‎, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and so on) as well as “gear” canvas to recall the steampunk style of the carousel.

All the carousels are covered with metallic shape mouldings, harmonized with the general decoration of the carousel.

The Jules Verne raceways are inlaid with the LED lights to make your carousel shine.

These models are available with storey and double stairs for  an easy access to the first stage of the merry-go-round.
