torchère
Tall standing light
A torchère is a tall floor lamp with an upward-facing bowl or shade that directs light toward the ceiling, creating indirect ambient illumination.
The design originated with ornamental candle stands in French palaces.
Modern torchères typically use halogen or LED bulbs: A sleek torchère stood in the corner of the living room.
