There’s an electrician that can fix your issues.

Yeah, I know I can have new floor boxes installed, but I am looking for an alternative to floor outlet boxes. I’m inquiring whether there exists a system where I can plug a device into a wall outlet that communicates with a device that a lamp plugs into. I thought Lutron Caseta might offer something like that, but nope.

You’re looking for wireless electricity?

The impracticality of floating furniture/ open floor plans rears it's ugly head.

There are some nice looking battery powered lamps now, but the real solution is an electrician.

Go to a good lighting store I use Tech but there are other

Ah well, I will call the electrician. Thank you all for the help!

That's the problem with floor outlets - they have to be installed to match your furnishing plans.

But if this is just for table lamps how about batteries?

For example - I have a small Ryobi inverter that would probably fit in a drawer or in a decorative basket. You can probably get an inverter, two batteries, and a charger for around $300.
