IKEA has launched a new portable speaker in Europe called the Grejsimojs Portable Bluetooth speaker. The product is part of the Grejsimojs range, which focuses on playful designs made for kids.

The Grejsimojs Portable Bluetooth speaker is built around a single 1.6-inch full-range driver. It delivers a total power output of 2 W and covers a frequency range of 150 to 19,000 Hz. The maximum sound pressure level is rated at 73.8 dB. Audio is streamed over Bluetooth. The Grejsimojs speaker is described as a “musical mouse.” It features a purple ABS plastic body with four legs and two ears. Sound is emitted from the front of the mouse’s face. A braided polyester carry loop at the back is designed to look like a tail. Silicone rubber is used for the buttons and feet.

The speaker supports a multi-speaker mode. This allows it to connect with other IKEA Bluetooth speakers that also support this feature so the same audio can be played from multiple speakers at the same time. It does not support stereo mode, and Spotify Tap is not available. IKEA notes that the suitable distance between the connected device and the speaker is at least 10 meters without interference. When using multi-speaker mode, the distance between the main speaker and additional speakers should also be at least 10 meters.

Battery life is rated at up to 24 hours at 50 percent volume. The speaker charges via USB-C, but the USB-C cable and USB power adapter are sold separately. The speaker cannot play audio while charging and should always be charged by an adult. A built-in volume limit is included to protect children’s sensitive hearing. The speaker measures 8.6 x 13.0 x 9.0 cm and has an IP44 rating for dust and splash resistance.

The IKEA Grejsimojs Portable Bluetooth speaker is now available in countries including the UK, Germany, and Sweden for £12.00, €14.99, or SEK 179. IKEA has not confirmed if or when it will be released in other markets.

IKEA is expanding its audio portfolio with a compact, portable speaker that goes beyond typical single-device playback. On its own, the IKEA Kallsup is a tiny cube shaped Bluetooth speaker that stands out by its bright yet minimalistic design. But one of its highlighting features is its ability to pair up with 99 more of its kind.

IKEA Kallsup portable Bluetooth speaker specifications

While IKEA hasn’t confirmed the full feature list yet, the speaker’s small footprint and lightweight design suggest it’s intended for everyday use. The Kallsup features a compact design that measures 2.75 x 2.75 x 2.75 inches in dimensions and uses plastic for its build. It supports USB-C charging along with Bluetooth 5.3. There are also two small physical buttons for controls. On a single full charge, the IKEA Kallsup can offer up to 9 hours of audio playback at 50 percent volume.

But what truly sets it apart is the scalable audio system. By itself, it is a tiny speaker that can barely cover a room, but when paired with multiple other Kallsup speakers, it can cover larger rooms, outdoor spaces, or everyroom in the house. That one tiny speaker can connect with up to 100 other units of the same model, which offers a massive boost in sound output.

This feature can also be useful for public events, pop-up venues, or collaborative listening setups where coverage is crucial. IKEA hasn’t shared a precise release window yet, but this model will go on sale in the US for just 10 US Dollars in April 2026. It is also available in multiple bright color options, namely hot pink, bright green and white. In related news, this launch arrives after the brand released the IKEA Solskydd circular wireless speaker and IKEA Kulglass Lamp speakers.

IKEA’s latest audio products are a great conversational piece. Its new wireless speakers aren’t built just for audio, but also as an accessory for your home. The brand has worked with a designer to make these hearables a bright new aesthetic and unique shapes. So let’s check them out.

IKEA’s New Wireless Speakers: Loud Sound Meets Bold Design

The known furniture brand has used its expertise in home furnishings along with Swedish designer Tekla Evelina Severin, to make the Solskydd range of speakers. The new Solskydd is a Swedish word for ‘sun shade’, and arrives in three color options. This includes an 8-inch, an 11-inch, and the largest 18-inch sizes. To add to their premium look and feel, the brand houses the audio drivers under a fabric mesh. While the smallest model has a single driver, the larger models get dedicated tweeters and subwoofers.

On the other hand, the second wireless speaker is the IKEA Kulglass, which looks like a lamp. It carries fluorescent hues, and the designer states that it is also designed to resemble ice cream swirls. According to Teklan, “I wanted this inviting shape to contrast the technical complexity we usually associate with high-quality sound. While the inside is advanced, the outside feels warm, open, and easy to understand.”

It also houses a 1-inch tweeter and a 3.5-inch subwoofer. This also doubles as a regular lamp, housing a standard bumb holder. IKEA’s Solskydd range of speakers starts from 99.99 US Dollars and goes up to 139.99 US Dollars. On the other hand, the Kulglass speakers carry a 129.99 US Dollars price tag.

IKEA is fast expanding its scope beyond furniture making with a raft of new products unveiled. The foremost furniture maker has entered the smart home monitoring turf with three new safety sensors. The new products are named VALLHORN, PARASOLL, and BADRING and are offered as affordable home monitoring gadgets. All three new IKEA smart home monitoring sensors use the Zigbee software for its companion app communication and connectivity protocol. The sensors are designed to work within the fast-expanding IKEA Home smart ecosystem. Each product connects to the DIRIGERA Hub for a seamless experience

IKEA has previously released its first set of smart home equipment including light bulbs, speakers, and air purifiers. The new home monitoring gadgets are easy to install and underpins the IKEA philosophy. The IKEA PARASOLL is a discreet sensor mountable on windows and doors and helps to monitor whenever an entry point is opened or closed. The slim sensor fits well and offers updates via app notifications. The PARASOLL has a direct comparison with some smart home monitoring sensors from SimpliSafe and SmartThings.

The IKEA VALHORN is a wireless motion sensor that can be used both indoors and outdoors. It is equipped with lights to illuminate the environment when movement is detected. The user can also adjust the light colors and intensity. The IKEA BADRING is designed to monitor water leakage around any area it is placed. It notifies the user via app notification or alarm when a leak is detected.

Pricing & Availability

IKEA has not provided the pricing details for the new smart home monitoring sensors. The PARASOLL and VALHORN are expected to be available at IKEA stores within this month while the BADRING will be available by April 2024. IKEA expects a decent reception for the three new smart home monitoring sensors when they debut.

IKEA could soon release two new products, the VALLHORN Motion Sensor and PARASOLL Open/Close sensor. This information is based on two FCC filings that were revealed. The filings indicate that the two sensors will be battery-powered and integrated into the smart home ecosystem.

The IKEA VALLHORN Motion Sensor is powered by two AA batteries and has a dimension of 2.77 x 2.77 inches. The sketches of the device indicate s that it is rated IP44 water and dust resistant. The VALLHORN Motion Sensor looks similar to the TRADFRI Wireless motion detector and it will trigger smart home devices like lights.

The PARASOLL Open/Close Sensor will alert you when there is an open door or window. It operates with a single AAA battery and is secured in location by a screw or adhesive strip. IKEA could possibly integrate a smart thermostat with the gadget. This will allow it to give an alert when you try to put on a heater while the windows are open. The gadget will also alert you when an intruder enters the house.

The two IKEA sensors will likely be compatible with the IKEA Home Smart system and controlled via the companion app. IKEA is partnering with Leedarson on the two sensors but a release date is not known yet. IKEA has not provided any official information on the optics of the release of the two gadgets. The pricing details are also lacking at this time.

IKEA has collaborated with Little Sun to develop two new solar LED lamps under the SAMMANLANKAD moniker. The table and ceiling solar LED lamps will enable Little Sun to scale up the coverage of its energy solutions. Little Sun is a non-profit organization that produces alternative energy solutions with affordability as a driving factor. It continues to pursue its goal of providing clean energy solutions to a wider audience globally.

The new solar LED lamps were designed to mimic the sun and the earth’s orbit. The lamp has a 23.5-degree angled central light source fixed on a mirrored surface with metal rings surrounding it. It is available as a table lamp with a base stand or a ceiling-mounted pendant model.

The inner solar-powered light of the lamp is detachable and it is half-sphere-shaped with a yellow strap. You can carry the smaller device around or hang it. The lamp is powered by solar panels and rechargeable batteries. You can also charge the lamp via USB-A or USB-C if needed. The ports can also be used to charge your smartphone or other mobile devices.

The brightness capacity of the IKEA SAMMANLANKAD solar LED lamps has not been specified. The company however says that they have a relatively high light output because of the size of the LED bulbs.The two lamps will be released this month in selected markets. Pricing details and other parameters are not known at this time.

It looks like IKEA is expanding its line of Bluetooth speakers with the upcoming VAPPEBY 20×20 gen 3. This device has recently received Bluetooth certification, and a similarly named gadget, the VAPPEBY 20 gen 3, was listed for FCC certification last year. This suggests that the VAPPEBY 20×20 gen 3 is a new and improved version of the VAPPEBY 20 gen 3.

The design of the VAPPEBY 20×20 gen 3 appears to be similar to the IKEA ENEBY Bluetooth speaker. It is a square-shaped speaker with a built-in handle, making it easy to carry around. The device also has control buttons and a scroll wheel button to adjust the volume and play or pause music. The key difference between the ENEBY and the VAPPEBY 20×20 gen 3 seems to be the inclusion of the Spotify Tap playback feature. This feature allows you to resume playback or play music based on your taste with just the click of a button. This is a smart feature that makes it easy for you to control your music without having to pull out your phone.

Another smart feature of the VAPPEBY 20×20 gen 3 is the auto standby feature. After 20 minutes of inactivity, the device will automatically go into standby mode, conserving power and prolonging the battery life. The speakers in the device include a 3.2-inch (~81 mm) woofer and a 1-inch (~25 mm) soft dome tweeter. The amplifier output power of the device is 20 W, which should provide a decent level of volume and clarity.

The VAPPEBY 20×20 gen 3 appears to be powered by the IKEA ENEBY Battery pack. This battery pack should provide enough power for the speaker to last for up to 16 hours at 50% volume. The speaker will measure 199 x 199 x 80 mm (~8 x 8 x 3-in) and weigh 1.5 kg (~52.9 oz) without the battery pack. It is a compact and portable speaker that you can take with you wherever you go.

It is unclear when this new IKEA VAPPEBY 20 x 20 Bluetooth speaker will be launched, but it is likely to be soon based on the recent certifications. The price of the device is also unknown, but the latest product in this line, the VAPPEBY Bluetooth speaker lamp, was released last March and retailed for US$89.99. It is likely that the VAPPEBY 20×20 gen 3 will be priced similarly, but this is just speculation at this point.

Furniture maker, IKEA is testing a solar-powered cargo electric bike for deliveries in the Netherlands and Vilnius, Lithuania. The pilot program in the Netherlands is run by the Delft Ikea store. The yellow and blue Ikea-branded electric three-wheeler is used for deliveries in urban areas around the store. In Vilnius, the maximum weight per order is 30kg to accommodate more deliveries per trip.

Ikea says that the successful pilot run of the e-trike will lead to its expansion to include home deliveries in different parts of the world. The worldwide Ikea franchisor has decided to give its global retailers the possibility of adding the cargo electric bike into their local operations. This is a sustainable, accessible, and cost-effective alternative to traditional home delivery fleets.

The bike has a decently-sized storage box that can accommodate most of IKEA’s products. According to IKEA’s Helene Davidsson, the Sunrider bike can accommodate about 90% of the IKEA product range, with about 98% less carbon emission than diesel alternatives. The bike is also solar-powered, which further enhances its sustainability rating. The Sunrider bike has a range of 100km and its side-mounted solar panels contribute to that range.

The IKEA Sunrider e-bike has a payload capacity of 150kg and can take multiple deliveries at the same time in some instances. It has a front hub motor which is less expensive than the prevalent mid-drive motors in cargo electric three-wheelers. Front-hub motor electric trikes are becoming popular in different markets. There are some improved models in the market that provide a more stable platform for riders needed for heavy-duty haulage.

The cargo e-bike seems to be just up there as there are several heavy-hitting cargo e-bikes in Europe. It has a slim frame and seemingly tiny wheels. The top speed of the bike was not specified and the company has not outlined its rollout plans for the product yet.

IKEA has launched the SYMFONISK shelf equipped with a wireless charger in Europe. The product comes with a wireless charging pad for Qi-compatible devices. It also has an 18W USB-C charging port for simultaneously charging another compatible device.

The new IKEA SYMFONISK shelf is an adapter for the IKEA SYMFONISK shelf speaker. The shelf speaker is currently available in the UK and Australia. You can use the device to charge compatible smartphones and smartwatches. There is an LED notification that indicates whether the device is charging or not.

The SYMFONISK Speaker is the culmination of IKEA’s partnership with Sonos. Four screws are used to connect the two products. The steel attachment of the shelf measures 12 x 5.2 x 8.7 inches. It offers enough space to store a few other things apart from charging your smartphone.

The IKEA SYMFONISK shelf with wireless charger is already on sale in the Netherlands, France, and Italy. Two color options for the IKEA SYMFONISK shelf are available – white and black. The gadget is priced at €40 (~$41) in the countries mentioned earlier. There are no details yet on the global availability of the IKEA SYMFONISK shelf with a wireless charger.

Ikea recently launched a new Bluetooth speaker lamp with a retro lantern-inspired design — and it is actually the very first speaker to feature Spotify Tap for one-touch access to the music service. The feature was earlier only available on headphones.

While the marketing images show the lamp perched in various parts within a house, it should work just fine in outdoor scenarios with features like a rechargeable battery and IP65 water resistance. You also get a USB Type-C cable with it for charging, although there’s no wall brick and you’d have to purchase it separately.

Once Spotify Tap is set up through the app, tapping the power button on the lamp will automatically resume playing the last piece of audio. A second tap will skip to a recommendation based on your listening habits.

Apart from the Spotify integration, the Ikea Vappeby Bluetooth lamp speaker doesn’t offer much in terms of smart features and is just a regular speaker cum light with not too many options to fiddle with.

Interested in a purchase? Just head over to Ikea’s official microsite for the same where it’s available in blue and grey colors for $64.99. As of this article’s writing, the item is out of stock but should hopefully restock soon enough.

Recently, ASUS sub-brand, Republic of Gamers (ROG), and IKEA agreed on a collaboration between both brands to design and produce various pieces of furniture and accessories specifically tailored to suit the nuances of the gaming community. The joint effort has now begun yielding results, as IKEA last month, introduced a variety of gaming furniture to the Chinese market, with hopes of extending these products to the global market this year.

The new gaming range is mainly focused on gamers using a personal computer. IKEA has categorized the products into six categories. They include HUVUDSPELARE, UTESPELARE, MATCHSPEL, GRUPPSPEL, UPPSPEL, and LÅNESPELARE.

One of the six families of products is called UPPSPEL and is a culmination of the joint collaboration between both companies. The UPPSPEL product family was designed and produced via a close collaboration between Asus ROG and IKEA. The other five product families were developed solely by IKEA, although it claims these products were based on the insights and knowledge gained from the collaboration.

The list of products that culminated from the IKEA/ Republic of Gamers collaboration is over thirty.

1 of 6

The list of new gaming-focused furniture is expected to debut in Japan around May 2020. The products include gaming desks and chairs, a drawer unit, a mug holder, a neck pillow, a ring light, a mouse bungee, a ring light, and several other products that both companies hope would combine to produce a wonderful gaming experience.

However, gamers will have to wait a bit longer for these products, as IKEA has said that global sales are expected bro kick off in October 2021.

IKEA, the furnishing based company, has recently made an online announcement that it would be launching a new ROG (Republic of Gaming) branded series of product in China, earlier today (28th January 2021).

The news arrives after both brands collaborated in the past, with Asus’ ROG gaming brand announcing about 30 kings of affordable furniture accessories back last year. Now, it seems like the Swedish brand is partnering with the Republic of Gaming again to launch a new lineup of products. These new products will also be centered around gaming and will be accessories within the same cateogry, which is being developed in IKEA’s product development center in Shanghai, China.

In a recent design seminar, IKEA announced that it is targeting both gaming enthusiasts as well as professional esports athletes with its new gaming furniture. Notably, this is not the first time a furniture based brand has partnered with a gaming related company, as last year, Logitech had worked with Herman Miller to develop a gaming chair, which was popular with various online gaming personalities and streamers alike.

While IKEA is usually known for its simple themed minimalistic aesthetic, the design philosophy for its gaming lineup of products will likely be different. As per the company’s official statements, it is aiming to bring gaming related products that will better suit one’s house and would go seamlessly with the surroundings as well. Unfortunately, that is all the information we have to go on, for now, so stay tuned as we will be providing more updates when additional information is available.

Earlier today (28th May 2020), Tmall announced that it will be launching its 3D shopping service. The new service uses 3D mapping technology and already has over 100 commercial retailing giants like IKEA joining in.

Through 3D Shopping, customers can simply browse the entire mall on their smartphones as they would if they were physically present. These measures have been implemented due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, to encourage people to avoid densely populated areas like malls and shopping complexes. The 3D shopping service will use 5G networking and has a lot of potential in the commercial retailing industry.

Since people are advised to generally not move around in public too often, this technology could help many businesses in achieving a sizeable shift into the digital spheres. Furthermore, the 3D shopping service can also make the entire shopping experience more immersive and interactive, paving the way for more advanced technology and interfaces that could be used in the e-commerce industry in the future.

According to reports, this service already has 100 brands adopting this technology as the first batch. It includes major names like IKEA, which is a major home furnishing store. IKEA stores are known to be large, with 1:1 reproduction of its 3,000 square kilometer store being shifted into the digital realm. So, customers familiar with the place would actually find it easier to navigate through the store from their homes as well.

IKEA, one of the leading furniture brands, has now started selling its products through Alibaba‘s e-commerce platform Tmall in China. This marks the first time the 77-year old company is selling its products through a third party.

The move seems to be aimed by the company to reach a wider set of audience. IKEA says that the its virtual store on Tmall, which is initially a six-month test across the east coast provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and the city of Shanghai, is a complement to its own stores, online store and app.

EDITOR’S PICK: Will the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max get launched on March 12 in India?

If the test proves successful, the company aims to roll the Tmall store out to more parts of China. However, it has been clarified that the company currently has no plans to sell through third parties in other markets.

The IKEA store on Tmall will offer around 3,800 of products, along with services available in its own sales channels, such as delivery and assembly. This looks like an attempt by IKEA to adapt rapidly changing shopping patterns, which until a decade ago almost solely relied on its giant out-of-town warehouse stores.

In recent years, the company has invested heavily to expand online and in new sales channels. IKEA currently has around 30 stores in China, around half of which have been closed since January due to the coronavirus outbreak.

UPDATE:

Xiaomi has revealed more details about this hidden 20W wireless charging table. It can technically be a DIY (Do It Yourself) thing, with Xiaomi showing us how it’s made. The IKEA table costs 119 Yuan ($17) while the 20W wireless charging module is priced at 99 Yuan ($15). So, you can make your own 20W Wireless Charging table for around $32 in China.

Well, considering how the entire table doesn’t support wireless charging, it’s definitely less impressive than what we originally thought! Still, that hidden design isn’t bad, especially when you can charge at 20W. Don’t forget where it’s placed though, as your phone would have to be exactly on top of the wireless charger to get some juice.

You can see how it’s done below.

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could place your smartphone on the table and it would start charging automatically? No need for any wires or any switches. That’s the dream, right? Well, Xiaomi and IKEA are making it happen. Both brands have come together to make a new table that can wirelessly charge your smartphone quickly at 20W.

You must have seen dedicated wireless charging spots on coffee shops and stores, but here, the entire table is said to support wireless charging. Not to mention, it would be charging pretty quickly, all thanks to Xiaomi’s 20W wireless charging technology. This is definitely the future of charging and not just for smartphones. I personally wouldn’t be surprised to see it in coffee shops, airports, and other public areas in the near future.
