In 1963, British entrepreneur Edward Craven Walker invented the lava lamp, which consists of a special coloured wax mixture inside a glass vessel. The vessel is placed on a warm surface containing an incandescent light bulb that acts as a heater. The heat would then cause a temporary reduction in the density of the wax, making it rise. The lamps are designed in a variety of styles and colours.

Torchiere is a type of floor lamp with a tall body and a shade that faces upwards to provide ambient luminescence to an area. One of the main advantages of a torchiere lamp is that it can provide more lighting than any regular floor pattern. Through its upward shade, the ceiling is able to bounce light to the walls and floors.
