A brief history of the floor lamp
Descended from 17th-century "torch-bearing stands," the floor lamp revolutionized lighting by taking light off the walls and making it mobile. Its height was historically designed to cast light exactly over a reader's shoulder, thus avoiding cast shadows long before the invention of electricity. At the end of the 18th century, the emergence of draft-free oil lamps allowed it to shine independently and steadily, making it the central focal point of reading rooms.
