This is the second time Rankin has collaborated with Mathmos, with Rankin shooting a series of iconic images with Mathmos lamps in 2000 for alternative style and culture magazine Dazed & Confused.
Rankin's 60th Anniversary limited edition Astro lava lamp uses his favourite colours of blue with an aquamarine lava.
Rankin chose to customise a Vinyl Astro, which features lines etched into the base and cap metal resembling a vinyl record with music-inspired lead with a translucent switch and plug.
Rankin's name is etched into the front of the cap, with the words "LET THERE BE LIGHT" on top of the metal cap.
“Mathmos lava lamps are a piece of design history, and it’s been great to reinterpret my work with them from the 00’s into this fresh design to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of Mathmos and the Astro lava lamp. I’ve used my favourite colours and really enjoyed the whole process of designing and then shooting the lamp.” Rankin.
Rankin has photographed the interior of his lava lamp for the unique box.
The Rankin x Mathmos Astro is a limited edition of 600 and includes a numbered security sticker under the base. This collaboration is available exclusively from Mathmos websites.
