Lava Lamps are Emotional
Lava lamps really are the icon of an era past. In the sixties, the lava lamp
exploded onto the lighting scene. It’s combination of style and peculiarity
made it a regular fixture in teen bedrooms and the lounges of savvy consumers.
It had such an impression on a generation that it could claim that it is the most
recognizable style of lamp in history. No matter in which continent you may reside
in, or how isolated you think you were, if someone showed you a photograph of a lava
lamp you would nod your head in acknowledgement. Lava lamps transcended geographical
and cultural boundaries.
Even though lava lamps were an icon of a bygone era, their resurgence today show
that it is also an icon for today and for the future. Stylistically, lava lamps
are available in range of metal and plastic finishes. The combination of colors
you can choose from is incredibly wide. The colors can dictate the kind of mood you
wish to have in a room. A powder blue liquid with darker blue bubbles can create very
positive energy. A canary yellow liquid with orange bubbles emits a warm glow. A light
purple liquid with forest green bubbles draw your eyes the area lit. The shine of
that particular light can mirror the aura of the people in the room. You could say
the effect of the lamp can draw an emotional response.
At once, sensuous and also mystical, the inviting nature of lava lamps are a
phenomenon that deserves to be appreciated by people in the present day and need
not stay in the past. No other lamps can create the lighting effects of lava lamps.
