Original-lavalampa från 1960-talet: Astro Baby i Koppar
Postat den 30 September 2021 av Mathmos
Astro Baby är en av två original-lavalampor från 1960-talet av lavalampans uppfinnare och Mathmos grundare, Edward Craven Walker. Hans andra design är lampan Astro. Båda modellerna såldes ursprungligen i denna fantastiska anodiserade kopparfinish, som inte har varit tillgänglig hos Astro Baby sedan 1980-talet.
Originally called the Astro Mini we changed the name to Astro Baby in the 1990s. These are marketing images from the 1960s, we sourced the original Welware melamine crockery to recreate the photo.

During the 1990s we developed a cartoon character the Astro Baby, seen here on postcards and Christmas cards.
