I need to anchor a floor lamp in a way that it can't be tipped over. Since my partner doesn't want us to drill holes anywhere, I thought maybe I could connect it to one of the sofa legs.
2 wooden slats with cutouts + 2 screws with nuts?
Black-painted nail plate with small screws/nuts?
There are many variations of this.

The first one might be difficult to make discreet, but the nail plate was a very good suggestion! I also have a black spray can, so that's probably what I'll do tomorrow when I have time.
Thanks to everyone for the tips, really good ones!
It should hold so that the little disobedient 10-month-old at home doesn't knock the lamp over again. She's really quick when she notices you look away for half a millisecond So cable ties are probably not entirely stable.
Clamp mount, two pieces. Thinking of the type that can be between construction fences for example.
Yes, just as Hobbs wrote, and I also had that idea myself for a while. It could work, but it would be tricky to get it tight enough so it doesn't stand unstable. The pipes have different diameters.
Put away the lamp during the (few) months it concerns?
It's probably more than just a few months. Better to secure things instead of hiding half the apartment in the closet (there are more things that could have been hidden away but have solved it in a similar way).
Drill a hole in the lamp base, place the sofa leg in the hole..
Haha yes, that probably would have worked. However, I'm not allowed to "ruin" anything. Otherwise, I would have just anchored the part that's on the floor to the wall.
