Vintage Lava Lamps in 1960s and 70s Interiors

Mathmos has produced the highest-quality lava lamps since 1963, and as a result of this long history we’ve had the pleasure of seeing Mathmos Astro lava lamps pop up in all sorts of wonderful locations ever since. Two of our retro lava lamps are pictured here in the retro locations of 70s House Manchester and The Hippie Shake office. Did you know that items that are at least 40 years old can be considered vintage? Meaning our original lava lamp models Astro and Astro Baby can claim their vintage titles.

Add vintage touches to your own home with a Mathmos Astro lava lamp; with 45 combinations to choose from, there is something to suit every space.

This fun read offers tips on how to introduce vintage interiors into your space using Mathmos lava lamps, bold prints and warm colours.

Retro Lava Lamps in the 1990s

During the 90s Mathmos lava lamp popularity hit an all-time high with the Mathmos Telstar retro rocket lavalamps being a staple of nineties bedrooms and parties. Retro is considered anything that is at least 20 years old but not yet 40 years old, meaning our iconic Telstar rocket lava lamps have now achieved retro status.

Other nineties Mathmos models like the Lunar and Jet lava lamps have since been discontinued and become sought after to add to vintage Mathmos collections. Telstar has stood the test of time and been in continuous production ever since it’s introduction. Bring some retro into your home with a Telstar lava lamp, available in 24 colourway combinations.
