“It’s very rare to have something made that long in Britain. So, I do feel very proud of that.”
Cressida Granger, CEO, Mathmos
Mathmos invented the lava lamp in 1963 and has been manufacturing them in Britain ever since. From hand-filled bottles in Poole to metal parts spun by UK suppliers, the company continues to make 30,000–40,000 lamps a year, building on more than 60 years of heritage.
Today, Mathmos employs around 30 people and has a strong global following, supported by a loyal collector community. By staying committed to making its products in Britain, Mathmos proves that heritage, quality, and design remain powerful assets in a competitive global market.
As Cressida says, “Do I think there is power in the British brand? Definitely.”
