MathmosMathmos is an English company that sells lighting products, most famously its numerous lava lamp models. The lava lamp was invented around 1963 by Edward Craven-Walker. The rights to produce the lampwere sold to Haggerty Enterprises in 1966 and the lamp became an icon of its decade. Sales collapsed in the 1970s and did not revive until the 1990s. In 1989 Cressida Granger and David Mulley acquired the lapsed rights to produce the lamp from Walker. They formed a company called Crestworth in Poole, Dorset, but changed the name to Mathmos in 1992. Mathmos comes from the 1968 film Barbarella, mathmos (or matmos) refers to a seething slime lake of evil beneath the city Sogo. External link
