The IKEA x Sonos 'SYMFONISK' Speaker Lamp is the latest device from the collaboration between the two brands that will enable consumers to maximize the functionality of workstations, bedside tables and more.
The lamp has a curvy aesthetic that features an illumination unit on the top with speaker components discreetly hidden into the base. This will allow music to be streamed from your choice of source via the Sonos app, Apple AirPlay 2 or the upcoming IKEA smart home app for an intuitive listening experience that meets increasing demand for mobile integration amongst consumers.
The IKEA x Sonos 'SYMFONISK' Speaker Lamp is crafted from a durable mix of plastic and fabric that is capable of being easily cleaned by taking the various components apart.
