Iconic Lava Lamps

Mathmos lava lamps are cultural icons remaining relevant for nearly 60 years.

The first lava lamp design, the Astro, is a design classic and regularly appears in exhibitions, books and museums.

Innovation

Mathmos are inventors, not followers. The company was founded with the invention of the lava lamp in 1963. All the innovations in lava lamps have come from Mathmos ever since.

We have also patented other lighting technologies over the years.
