IKEA and Sonos partner to produce the SYMFONISK frame that’s also a wi-fi speaker

IKEA and Sonos have continued their partnership with the release of the new SYMFONISK picture frame that also happens to be a wi-fi speaker so you can fill your room with sound and decorate it with a work of art at the same time.

“The space-saving picture frame speaker can hang on its own on the wall as an eye-catching art piece, be matched with other art on the wall, be placed on a shelf or on the floor, leaning against the wall. The interchangeable fronts make it easy to choose a style that suits your individual home”, says Stjepan Begic, product developer at IKEA of Sweden.

“As part of the growing IKEA Home smart range this new speaker contributes to our ambition to enable the many to enjoy a smarter everyday life.” he adds.

“This long-term collaboration continues to deliver exciting new ideas that will bring great listening experiences to homes across the globe – we look forward to delivering more unique products together in the future.”

The SYMFONISK picture frame speaker can connect to your home’s wi-fi to stream your music.

It can also be connected with other products from the SYMFONISK range or other Sonos products.

Like previous SYMFONISK products, this new picture frame speaker can also form part of a Sonos system.
