IKEA has been partnering with Sonos since 2017 to produce a range of SYMFONISK products that combine furniture with sound systems. The new SYMFONISK Wi-Fi speaker lamp with a bamboo shade is the latest addition to this lineup, offering an elegant and functional piece of furniture that can also play music wirelessly.
The speaker lamp is compatible with Spotify Connect, which allows users to stream music directly from the Spotify app to the lamp speaker without any additional setup. It also supports Apple AirPlay 2, which lets users stream music from Apple devices, including iPhones, iPads, and Macs, directly to the speaker.
One of the key features of the SYMFONISK range is the ability to synchronize music across multiple Sonos speakers. The new speaker lamp is no exception, as it can be used alone to create a 180° audio experience or paired with another SYMFONISK speaker to produce stereo sound. This means that users can enjoy high-quality sound throughout their home, with the ability to control the volume and music selection from their smartphone or tablet.
The SYMFONISK speaker lamp can also be integrated into IKEA’s smart home ecosystem via the DIRIGERA hub. This allows users to control the lamp speaker using the IKEA Home Smart app, which can be used to control other IKEA smart home gadgets, such as smart lights and blinds.
The lamp base measures 16 cm (~6.3-in) wide and is compatible with an E27 LED bulb, making it easy to replace the bulb when needed. The bamboo shade measures 25 x 20 cm (~9.8 x 7.9-in) and is available in white or black, with other shade options available in glass and fabric.
The SYMFONISK Wi-Fi speaker lamp with a bamboo shade is currently available in the UK for £185 (~US$228) and in the EU for €179 to €189 (~US$195 to US$206). Ikea is selling the bamboo shade separately for £26 (~US$32).
