Collection of Mathmos lava lamps with colored wax.

Lava lamps, originally known as Astro Lamps, were invented by Edward Craven-Walker in the UK in 1963. They became a symbol of psychedelic culture in the 1960s and 1970s, appreciated for their mesmerizing, slow-moving blobs of colored wax. The unique visual effect is achieved through the immiscibility of water and wax, with a light bulb at the base heating the wax, causing it to become less dense and rise.  

Mathmos, the original manufacturer, continues to produce lava lamps, maintaining the classic designs and quality that made them popular. These lamps are not only decorative but also considered collectible items, particularly vintage models or those with unique color combinations or features. Their enduring appeal lies in their retro aesthetic and the calming, hypnotic visual experience they provide.
