The first lava lamps appeared in the early 1970s, and were popular throughout that decade as a legacy of the culture and art forms of the '60s, usually amongst the middle classes.
However, they were rediscovered and re-launched as a 'retro' item in the early '90s and have remained as such to this day- rather similar to the way in which Skateboarding first appeared in the late '70s, went out of fashion for about a decade and then reappeared as it appealed to a new, younger generation.

When was lava lamps invented?
Singapore-born inventor Craven Walker was having a pint in post W.W.II England. The pub's decor included a fascinating lamp, which Craven Walker described as a "contraption made out of a cocktail shaker, old tins and things." It was to become the starting point and inspiration for Craven Walker's design. The liquid-filled inventor proceeded to purchase the equally liquid-filled lamp, whose creator (Mr. Dunnett) Walker later discovered had died. Walker became determined to make a better version of the novelty item and spent the next decade and a half doing so (inbetween running an international house-swap agency and making films about nudism.) Walker worked on improving the lamp with his company the Crestworth Company of Dorset, England. Initially local retail merchants thought his lamps were ugly and disgusting. Luckily, for Craven Walker the "Psychedelic Movement" and the "Love Generation" came to dominate 60's merchandising in Great Britain and sales of the lava lamp soared. It was the perfect light for modern times, Walker declared. "If you buy my lamp, you won't need to buy drugs." Craven Walker perfected a secret Lava recipe of oil, wax and other solids. The original model had a large gold base with tiny holes to simulate starlight, and a 52 oz. globe that contained red or white Lava and yellow or blue liquid. He marketed the lamp in Europe under the name of Astro Lamp. Two American entrepreneurs saw the lava lamp displayed at a German trade show and bought the rights to manufacture the lava lamp in North America under the name Lava Lite lamp. Before selling his company, sales of the lamps had exceeded seven million units. Today with over 400,000 lava lamps made each year, the Lava Lamp is enjoying a comeback. Craven Walker's originally company, the Crestworth Company, changed names to Mathmos in 1995 (a reference to the bubbling force in Barbarella.) They still manufacture the Astro, Astro Baby, and more Lava Lamps in their original home of Poole, Dorset, UK.

What is the antonym for lamp?
The word "lamp" is a noun -- nouns are always either a person (David, teacher, Queen Elizabeth), a place (China, New York, Mount Everest) or a thing (book, house, lamp). To have an antonym, you usually need a different part of speech: an adjective. Adjectives describe (tell us more about) a noun or a pronoun. For example, "lamp" is a noun, but what kind of lamp? How about a "blue lamp" (blue is an adjective, describing the lamp). Or how about a "small lamp"? Or an "expensive lamp"?With adjectives, you can have synonyms or antonyms. A synonym is a word with the same meaning: "big" and "large" are synonyms. So are "small" and "little." But an antonym is a word that means the opposite-- "big" and "small" are antonyms. So are "old" and "new." You could only have an antonym if you described the lamp in opposite ways: "the old lamp" and the "new lamp" for example. But the word "lamp" would not be the antonym-- only the adjective (the word that describes it) would be the antonym you are looking for.

Things to Know When Looking for a Replacement Lamp?
There is usually a very valid reason for looking for a replacement lamp for your home. You may have broken the lamp you had when you were cleaning your home, or maybe your housekeeper accidentally broke it. If you have recently changed decorating schemes within your home, the old lamp may no longer coordinate appropriately with the decor that you picked out. It can actually be fun to look for a new replacement lamp. If you broke your old lamp, you can look for a replacement lamp that either looks the very same as your old lamp, or one that looks quite similar to it. If a certain company made the broken lamp, you may be able to locate an exact replacement match quicker than if there is no brand name on the lamp. If you absolutely cannot locate an exact look-a-like lamp, then you can purchase one that has the same styling and height of the old lamp. You may even be able to keep your old lampshade to use on your replacement lamp (if the lampshade is still usable.) If the replacement lamp is simply being purchased because you are redecorating your home, then you have many options as to what kind of lamp to purchase. If you are going for the shabby chic or classic look, you may consider going with a lamp that is very simple. The lamp may, however, have some frilly decorating around the edges of the lampshade. The lampshade may have pretty beading or crystals hanging off the edges of it. If you are looking more for the country style of a replacement lamp, you may want to buy a lamp that is more rugged or outdoorsy-looking. Again, look at the lampshade of the lamp. The lamp should be basic if you are going for a country style, but the lampshade could have plaid striping on it, or even country-type themes. If you are really creative and love to decorate, you may also want to look for interchangeable lampshades to go along with your new replacement lamp. If you find some awesome lampshades, you can change the look of your lamp really easily.
