Ikea & Sonos Collaboration

5th June 2019

Ikea and Sonos recently announced their collaborative line of speakers, named Symfonisk. One of which doubles up as a lamp. This was exciting news for many of us at Sanders Design. Combining audio, design and furniture is a pleasing fusion.

Combining two products into one beautiful object which can blend into a household setting and function as a Sonos player is extremely appealing. What is also very appealing, is the price point! You can get your hands on the bookshelf speaker for £99 from April 2019 (significantly cheaper than the similar Sonos 1 which sells for £150) The bookshelf player fits neatly into Ikea’s existing bookshelf lines, and can also become a shelf itself, if you mount it to the wall with the included bracket.

At Sanders, we are passionate about audio quality and products that are well designed to deliver it. Back in 2015, we designed an all-in-one household audio system for Cyrus Audio. Cyrus Lyric was designed with optimum sound quality and user interaction in mind – making it a multi-award winning hi-fi system. You can read more about this project on our website.
