Mathmos Smart Astro & Mathmos monster lamp London design sept

[john]

I just come by this as im going to london design, theres been the demand for the lunar to come bk but i hear mathmos are bringing out a monster lamp looks kl. Does anyone got info of this Smart astro it looks so intresting as it going to be runned by led's so there must be a heat circuit or cemamic heater that heats the wax up.

 

The Smart Astro may look much like Mathmos’ original 1963 design but it now uses LEDs and is chip controlled allowing for multiple colour selection and auto temperature regulation.

I really wish I could visit this show, miles away from us though :( Mind you, it is probably a good job that I cannot make it lol, I would spend far too much money. I've settled for an advanced order of the Smart Astro.

If anyone does go and see these lamps, please could someone take a video of the two smart astros as they are running, I would really love to see what they look like :) Thanks.
