Homeowners have been swapping their three-piece shelf stereo systems for more discreet versions for years. However, the issue of creating enough space in the home for quality surround sound remains. The Sonos x IKEA SYMFONISK Floor Lamp Speaker is a welcome solution. This simple yet stylish speaker doubles as a floor lamp, allowing users to position it at varying heights for aesthetics and superior surround sound.

The SYMFONISK Floor Lamp Speaker is yet another collaboration between Santa Barbara-based Sonos and the iconic Swedish furnishing brand, IKEA. Back in 2019, the two brands partnered to produce the Sonos x IKEA SYMFONISK, a speaker series that included a table lamp with a squat speaker as its base and a smaller and thinner bookshelf speaker. They followed up in 2021 with the Symfonisk Picture Frame Speaker. In January 2023, the Sonos x IKEA SYMFONISK Floor Lamp Speaker will be released.

The floor lamp sits on top of the speaker surrounded by a simple, modern bamboo lampshade. Several other lampshades are available for purchase separately. The Sonos x IKEA SYMFONISK connects with other speakers in the Sonos system and the IKEA Home application to streamline the user’s smart home experience. The goal is to provide top-quality Sonos sound without using precious floor, shelf, or wall space.
