A Legacy of Light and Movement
What started as an invention by Edward Craven Walker became a global phenomenon when the LAVA® brand of motion lamps officially launched in 1965. The trademark shape contributes to the necessary differences in heat from the base to the top of the globe. The included appliance bulb provides the heat required to warm the wax and the light for the ambient glow. The LAVA name came about because as the wax gains and loses buoyancy, it rises and falls creating a visual experience similar to volcanic lava. Over the years, the LAVA brand has evolved, introducing new colors, styles, and sizes while staying true to the iconic shape, ambient light, and mesmerizing motion. Today, Lava Lamps remain a symbol of relaxation, inspiration, and visual delight.
How to Celebrate
"The ambient light and flowing wax is hypnotic," said Beth Muehlenkamp, Marketing Director at Schylling Inc. "We know LAVA Lamp is a creative, cultural touchstone for many and reigning as a icon after 60 years makes this National LAVA Lamp Day even more special."
