Ikea and Sonos Releasing SYMFONISK Picture Frame WiFi Speaker

Ikea’s SYMFONISK speaker range currently includes lamp and bookshelf speakers. This week they announced they’re releasing a picture frame WiFi speaker, designed in collaboration with Sonos:

“The new SYMFONISK picture frame WiFi speaker also serves a piece of art that seamlessly blends into the home. The speaker will come in black or white version, with interchangeable fronts to offer a variety of looks.

"The SYMFONISK picture frame speaker connects over WiFi and can be used as the only sound source in a room or connected with other products from the SYMFONISK range or other Sonos products. Like the previous SYMFONISK products, this new speaker is also part of the Sonos system, which means listeners can connect to more than 100 streaming services as well as the full range of Sonos products.”

The speaker can be hung (in either orientation) via a magnetic hook, and also comes with rubber feet if you’d rather lean it against something. It does need to be plugged into the wall, of course, but the audio connection is done over WiFi and controlled via an app, although the press photos also show what look like physical buttons on the frame.

The new speaker will be released in both Ikea stores and online on July 15th.
