The new version of IKEA's Symonisk Table Lamp speaker can be styled to suit individual style preferences thanks to mix and match shades. This evolution in design from the first iteration of the lamp speaker represents a continuation in the partnership between IKEA and Sonos, now with more choices for consumers than before.
The base component, which holds the speaker and light socket, can be found in either black or white. To build atop this, customers have their choice of lampshades made of fabric or glass. Another noticeable design change is that IKEA has swapped the E11 light socket for a common E26/E27 option, which allows the design to work with many more kinds of illuminators.
