We hope you can all make it to the exhibition at some point. We'll have old lamps, archive photographs, prototypes and some one-offs we've done over the years. We're looking for collectors who may like to lend us something for the exhibition. If you're interested please email us on mathmos@mathmos.com. We're not exactly sure what we need yet but anything rare or unusual would be great. We will of course take very good care of your lamps and we'll give you something nice in return.
The exhibition is going to run from the 19th of September to coincide with the London Design Festival and will run until the end of the year (no relation to New Years Eve I'm afraid, we just wanted to run it for the rest of the year to make sure everyone has the best chance to come along).
Here's hoping collectors here get them some stuff to show. I know some of you have: the flower fibre lamps of various kinds; the wall lamp; the Cosmos pedestal export models; the flick fibre lamp and Crystalite; the sputnik-type aroma lamps; the Cannon Timer; Twiggy; the table lamp glitters; and, hopefully, Princess, Fireball or giant store display lamp. We collectors can actually help make this thing special. I wish I could be in the UK to see it - hopefully there will be lots of photos!
*sigh* i wish I could go.
Somebody tell 'em to make it a traveling exhibition and come to germany...
or at least take dozens of pictures.
Like, please?

i have a black mint fibre space boxed, The white base you refer to Richard is the second model, would be good to have two. As the first only changes four colours and the white changes 6 colours.
