TL;DR

• IKEA has launched new connected speakers in whimsical shapes and flaunt-worthy colors.
• One of them is a circular speaker, which can either rest on a table or be mounted on a wall.
• The other is a lamp-speaker combo with color shades inspired by soft-serve ice cream.
• Besides playing audio over Bluetooth, these speakers also support Spotify Tap for easy access to your playlists.

In addition to its ease of assembly and affordability, what helps IKEA furniture stand apart from the crowd (of other mass-produced furniture) is its inviting vibe and minimal aesthetic. Gladly, its wares extend beyond what has a few feet and sits on the ground. And one category that IKEA has absolutely crushed is obfuscated, visually stunning wireless speakers.

IKEA previously offered Wi-Fi-based speakers in partnership with Sonos under its Symfonisk lineup. Since that has come to an end, IKEA has been exploring its own creations. It has now added two new speaker ranges to its inventory in partnership with Swedish designer Tekla Evelina Severin, who’s popularly known as “Teklan.”
