The First Lava Lamp
The lava lamp was developed from a design for an egg timer using two liquids spotted in a Dorset pub. Craven Walker spent years developing this into a light for manufacture, initially using cocktail and orange squash bottles.
The Craven Walkers in the 1960s
The Craven Walkers grew the business together during the 60s and 70s manufacturing and selling their lava lamps world-wide. Edward remained a consultant to Mathmos until his death in 2000. Christine still lives near the factory in Dorset and kindly signed our 50th anniversary limited edition.
Great British Eccentric
Edward Craven Walker was a man of many interests. His modes of transport included a helicopter and a fire engine, he always drove a British made Jaguar. He was an underwater film maker and a naturist, owning a naturist camp in Dorset and showing one of his underwater naturist films in Leicester Square.
