Invented by Craven Walker, the lava lamp was inspired by a homemade lamp fashioned from a cocktail shaker, bar glasses, and oil that Walker saw in a pub in late 1940s. He spent over ten years perfecting his design, and then sold the rights to two entrepreneurs to sell them in the U.S. as Lava Lite Lamps. This piece of iconic, psychadelic 60s decor is still made with heated wax and chemicals floating in dyed water, just like Walker’s original design.
