Angelo Lelii's classic Polifemo lamp, from 1956, was a torchiere that featured a secondary adjustable mood light.
The feature was a flight of fancy on Lelii's part. Now, 68 years later, technology has advanced to the point where more sophisticated functions can be crammed into a floor lamp. LG has just unveiled their PF600U, a lamp that houses a 1,920 x 1,080 projector and stereo speakers.
It's not a torchiere; the lighting is meant to be bounced off of a nearby wall. Users can select from nine colors and five brightness levels. The head tilts on a pivot to go into projector mode. You stream content to the thing via OTT, using LG's webOS.
You can get a closer look at the lamp, and see the projection quality, in the video below:
