Astro: The First Lava Lamp

The first and original lava lamp design by Edward Craven-Walker our founder. Edward Craven-Walker invented the lava lamp by adapting a design for an egg timer and remained a consultant at Mathmos until his death in 2000.
Made in the UK

Hand Made in the UK since 1963

We take pride in the fact that the Astro lamp has been in continuous production in England since its invention in 1963. Our long experience, our heritage and the superior quality of our overall product is what separates a Mathmos lava lamp from others.

We fill every bottle by hand with our unique Mathmos formula. This gives our lamps the best shape lava formations, the clearest liquids and the longest bottle life. The astro base and cap is hand spun by skilled British craftsmen. Each product is individually inspected and tested to ensure that a Mathmos lava lamp is the best quality in the world

Lifetime Use

Spare parts are available for Astro lamps made 47 years ago. The astro is a top quality product not made to be thrown away. Buy a new bottle and add a new lease of life to your design classic.
