IKEA have democratised light in the home for years – with the connected smart lighting system TRÅDFRI as the latest addition. Now, setting out to also make high-quality sound available for everyone, IKEA and Sonos will present the first products in the SYMFONISK range – in the FEEL HOME exhibition in Milan.

There’s sound, and there’s light. So why not both? Two hugely important elements for creating the right mood around the home. This was the starting point for making the playful exhibition FEEL HOME in Tortona in Milan. The results? It is best experienced on site, the ambition has been to share knowledge through fun interactive installations based on everyday life activities.

IKEA and Sonos have showed a prototype to the world, a book-shelf speaker that will give customers a great connected speaker that enables a multi-functional usage in the home, at an affordable price. During the week you will for the first time get the chance to hear SYMFONISK and to get a chance to meet the people behind the products, the home furnishing experts from IKEA and the sound experts from Sonos.

For IKEA, heading into sound is a part of the smart home journey with connected products which began with the smart lighting range TRÅDFRI launched in 2016, followed by connected blinds that will be available in stores later this spring, and now sound.

If you happen to be in Milan, you’re welcome to join IKEA in playing around with sound and light at Via Tortona 32 in Milan 9-14 April (and get a sneak peek of the new SYMFONISK range, of course). And if you can’t wait, you can see a teaser video here.
