Ikea just made speakers you’ll actually want to display

Ikea just launched a new collection of speakers that double as actual pieces of art.

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. In fact, it would be difficult to even recognize the products as speakers upon first glance.

This collection is an evolution of Ikea’s broader mission to make in-home tech products not only functional, but also aesthetically pleasing. Teklan’s colorful touch bumps that goal up a notch by turning the new line of speakers into true design objects.
