    I think this is called friendship lamps or touch lamps. They’re connected online and when one person touches their lamp the other person’s lamp lights up or changes in some way. There are a few Arduino/ESP projects for making these, or you can buy them. They’re promoted as a way to keep a long distance relationship going.

      I’m curious, what’s the supposed effect?

        It just lets one person know the other person is thinking about them, but without the arduous burden of sending a text. “I love you but typing. is. haaard. So I’ll just touch this lamp lol.”
