Sonos-Ikea Symfonisk Speakers Are Here

Last year, Ikea and Sonos promised us a new collection of speakers that will blend in with your furniture. Last month we have seen a teaser from Ikea and a release date which Ikea said it will the 9th of April in Milan, Italy. But the two companies released two new speakers as part of the Ikea Symfonisk range a day before the official release date. Ikea released two new speakers in the collaborative Symfonisk range.

The first speaker is the Symfonisk Wi-Fi Bookshelf Speaker, which Ikea showed photos of it in its press release announcing it has won the Red Dot Design award. The second speaker is the Ikea Symfonisk lamp-speaker.

While you can place the Symfonisk Wi-Fi Bookshelf Speaker in a vertical way in order to save space, you can also use it as a shelf, as it can hold up to 3kg. The Ikea Symfonisk lamp-speaker looks like a normal table lamp except that the Wi-Fi speaker act as the base of the lamp allowing the speaker to blend into the design of your room.

Besides the unique Ikea design, the Symfonisk Wi-Fi Bookshelf Speaker appears to have some control buttons to play-pause and control the volume as well as a small LED light indicator. While the housing of the speaker seems to be plastic, there is a material cover covering the speaker grill with a small tag in front showing both Ikea and Sonos branding.

Although the Ikea Symfonisk table lamp speaker belongs to the Symfonisk range it seems like a new product in Ikea’s Tradfri smart lighting system. The speaker seems to have a plastic base at the bottom then goes the speaker as the bottom part of the lamp then a normal lamp at the top.

“We knew from the start that we wanted to challenge the traditional high-tech aesthetics. The lamp-speaker partly springs from the idea of the fireplace – one single piece that spreads warm light as well as sound”, says Iina Vuorivirta, one of the designers of Symfonisk lamp-speaker at IKEA of Sweden.  

As both speakers are Sonos speakers, you can enjoy a full Sonos experience using the Sonos app.

The Sonos Ikea Symfonisk Wi-Fi speakers are both expected to be available in August, and both will be available in two colors. The Ikea Symfonisk table lamp speaker will be for €179, while the Symfonisk Wi-Fi Bookshelf Speaker will be for €99.95.
