Inspired by this, which is inspired by “NASA Parachutes”:

Basically a little desk/bookshelf/whatever lamp that has a cylindrical base with lights that point up and a fan, then a slim metal rod sticks up with a little wide flat spot on top of that. Above that would be a very light “parachute” that is modeled after some sort of cool parachute that has a lot of light colors, that is tied down to the cylinder and the rod sticks up inside of it.
When the lamp is turned on the fan and lights kick on, the fan inflates the parachute and the lights shine into the parachute, with the light colored parts acting as a diffuser/lamp shade to spread the directed light around the area as a whole.
Might make sense to tie the parachute to the rod in some way to avoid it spinning and tangling itself up. Probably will take a good amount of fiddling to get the parachute to inflate every time, but could be fun.
