"The collection, which includes three round bluetooth speakers, two lamp speakers (called the Kuglass), and one new version of Ikea's beloved Fado lamp, was made in collaboration with the Swedish designer Tekla Evelina Severin (also known as Teklan). Severin, who is known for her work as a colorist, photographer, and designer, brings a keen eye for color and pattern to the designs, turning a product that might otherwise be an eyesore into one worthy of display."
"As tech becomes more integrated throughout the average American home, customers are increasingly looking for products that blend seamlessly with their decor-and don't draw too much attention to their actual functions. In recent years, Ikea has built out its speaker portfolio with more creative additions like the Symfonsik picture frame speaker and Vappeby outdoor speaker lamp . While the brand is known for its minimalist style, in recent months, it's started to inject more color and surprising forms into its home electronics offerings."
Ikea released a collaboration with Swedish designer Tekla Evelina Severin that turns speakers into artful objects. The collection includes three round Bluetooth speakers, two lamp speakers called the Kuglass, and a new take on the Fado lamp. Severin applied color and pattern expertise to make each piece visually striking and easy to display rather than hide. The launch continues Ikea's effort to make in-home tech both functional and aesthetically pleasing, building on prior products like Eneby, Symfonsik picture-frame speakers, and the Vappeby outdoor speaker lamp. The brand is increasingly introducing bolder colors and forms in home electronics.
