Ikea is not only committed to designer furniture and decorative elements of the highest quality and aesthetic beauty, but also thinks about functionality. Their motto is “Furniture for Everyone”, which reflects their commitment to offering affordable and high-quality products to a wide spectrum of customers. In addition, Ikea prides itself on its sustainability and social responsibility, and works to minimize its environmental impact in all its operations.
IKEA offers various furniture and household products, from sofas and tables to pillows and sheets. They also offer a selection of kitchen, bathroom and garden products and smart and technological home products. In this last section is that we have found the new lamp that not only illuminates the room with its light bulb and beauty, but also fills it with music.
Turn Your Home into a Smart Home with the Revolutionary Ikea and Sonos Lamp
IKEA focuses on innovation and design to create products that are attractive and practical at the same time, filtering everything within Scandinavian Design, a style that emerged in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden that is based on the philosophy that design should be accessible and beneficial for everyone, not just for an elite. Therefore, it focuses on creating practical and durable products that are easy to use and maintain.
This is the spirit that gave birth to Symfonisk Floor Lamp, a co-creation between Ikea and the sound design company Sonos, and which is part of an entire line that bears the same name and consists of several devices and was first launched in 2019.
There is not much to explain about the quality of speakers offered by Sonos. They are produced with magnets and drivers of the highest quality, with noise-proof wiring, and perfect acoustic balances, so you get a speaker that delivers all the textures of the frequency spectrum. The lamp is a floor lamp, not a table lamp, like the previous ones, and the design is embellished with a bamboo grid as the protagonist.
The speaker itself does not have an integrated voice assistant, so we will have to use Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri separately to control it with our voice. By now, we all have a device with one of these three services.
Where to place a lamp in home?
To place a lamp, you will first need to find a suitable location in your home. Some things to consider when choosing a place to place a lamp are:
- The space available: make sure there is enough room for the lamp and that it doesn’t get in the way or obstruct your view.
- Lighting: choose a place where the lamp can provide the right amount of light for the activity that will take place there.
- Decoration: choose a location that is consistent with the style and decor of the rest of the space.
- Safety: Ensure the lamp is not near flammable materials or objects that the light can damage.
Once you’ve chosen the right place for your lamp, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper placement and plug the lamp into an electrical outlet. Make sure the lamp is securely fastened and does not run the risk of falling or toppling over.
How to know the lumens you need in your floor lamp
Lumens are a unit of measurement for the amount of light emitted by a light source. When choosing a lamp for your room, it is important to choose a lamp with the correct amount of lumens to ensure that your space is adequately lit. This decision depends on the function of the room. For example, if the lamp is intended to illuminate a reading area, you will need a lamp with at least 1000 to 1500 lumens. If the lamp is designed to provide ambient light in a living room, a lamp with around 800 lumens would be sufficient. If you are looking for a kitchen or work area lamp, you will need a light with at least 2500 to 3000 lumens.
What the experts think about IKEA Symfonisk Scandinavian Design
“We have learned a great deal about how people want to furnish with light and sound. We also know that many people want to have several light sources on different levels and parts of the room to create the right mood. The challenge of not having enough room for a table to put the lamp on led us to create the floor lamp,” says Stjepan Begic, Range Design Leader at IKEA of Sweden.
“Since the launch of the first SYMFONISK speaker, we have built on our learnings to create a great sounding, great looking piece of furniture that brings the worlds of home furnishing and sound closer together than ever.”, he added.
“The SYMFONISK floor lamp speaker is a great example of how our collaboration continues to challenge the traditional idea of sound in the home,” says Sara Lincoln, Principal Product Manager at Sonos. “We created the floor lamp speaker to sound great on its own, but also to be versatile. It works seamlessly with all our Sonos speakers and is a great option for those who are looking to add rear speakers to their home theater set-up, when paired with our soundbars such as Ray and Beam,” she added about the new product.
