Ikea and Spotify teamed up to debut the Vappeby wireless device. The device doubles as a lamp and a speaker in one convenient and Swedish-inspired design. The lamp boasts Bluetooth capabilities and features a Spotify Tap built into its hardware.
Vappeby emits a subdued glowing light that casts downwards. It is shaped like a round mushroom and features a clean-cut and minimalist design. Its user-friendly interface features three simplistic controls that are easily accessible from the front of the lamp. The controls on the front operate the built-in Spotify Tap speaker, while the lamp function is operated from a toggle on the backside. Consumers can purchase the Vappeby lamp in two colors: blue and grey.
