BALVI · LÚCID STUDIO
Violet liquid, red lava, black base -- a colour statement with conviction.
The Capsule lava lamp in Purple/Red is the most contrasted variant in the Capsule series designed by Lúcid Studio for Balvi. Violet liquid, bright red lava and a matte black aluminium base create a visual presence that holds its own in interiors with a clear colour concept or deliberately staged spatial drama, as well as a solitary object in neutral surroundings.
Design: Lúcid Studio · Aluminium & Glass · Violet / Bright red · 35 x 12.3 x 12.3 cm · 2,700 g · GU10 35W incl.
Lúcid Studio deliberately chose black for the Purple/Red model's base. The matte black aluminium base works with the violet liquid: both colours amplify the dramatic character of the bright red wax. Compared with the gunmetal silver bases of other variants, the Purple/Red model appears more compact and purposeful -- it is the variant for spaces in which colour is used as a deliberate design tool.
Aluminium base and caps, clear glass column -- the same material choice as all Capsule models. The weight of 2,700 g ensures stability. The glass surface is clear and uncoloured; the colour effect comes entirely from the liquid and wax inside. No visible plastic components.
In use, the Purple/Red variant produces the most expressive light in the series: the violet ambient glow interacts with the red wax to create a warm, dramatic shimmer. Suitable for living rooms, bedrooms and work areas with a deliberate colour concept.
Positioning: Upright on a stable, vibration-free surface. Not near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
Switching on: Plug in, allow 1--3 hours warm-up. Do not move or shake while warm.
Operation: Maximum 10 hours at a stretch, then cool completely. GU10 35W, standard replacement.

What are the exact colours of this model?
Liquid: violet, transparent. Wax: bright red. Base and caps: matte black aluminium. The violet of the liquid and the red of the wax create a strong chromatic contrast in use.
How long does the warm-up phase take?
1 to 3 hours after switching on. During this time the image changes visibly -- from still light to fully flowing red lava in violet liquid.
Is the bulb included?
Yes. GU10 35W halogen included. Standard socket -- replacements available from specialist retailers.
Which interior styles suit Purple/Red?
Most effective in interiors with a deliberate colour concept -- darker walls, neutral surfaces, or spaces that consciously use contrast. It is the most expressive variant in the series and works less well in very restrained, monochromatic interiors.
Are there any care instructions?
Do not move or subject to vibration while warm -- permanently clouds the wax. Maximum 10 hours per session. Allow to cool completely before transport or repositioning.
How does this differ from the Blue/Green model?
Blue/Green has royal blue liquid and neon green lava -- a cold, energetic contrast. Purple/Red has violet and bright red -- a warmer, more dramatic contrast. Both have a matte black base.
Can the Capsule Purple/Red also work as a decorative object during the day without switching it on?
Yes -- the violet liquid in the glass column has a strong decorative quality even when switched off. In daylight the colour appears rich and jewel-like. The lamp works as a standalone sculptural object on a shelf or sideboard, day or night.
