The Ikea and Sonos alliance has already had some more than successful fruits. Symfonisk came to the market in 2019 with a proposal based on speakers perfectly integrated into home decoration . One in the shape of a book, another integrated into a lamp and a fairly good sound quality.
Now it looks like a new member will be joining this IKEA + Sonos product line, also following in the footsteps of previous models. It is a speaker integrated into a decorative canvas that has appeared briefly in the Ikea store , only to disappear later.
Everything indicates that IKEA + Sonos have anticipated their own official announcement for the new speaker. Both the images on the Ikea website and the product description confirm that the new speaker is ready for launch.

The new Ikea + Sonos speaker also belongs to the Symfonisk family and on the company's website, during the time it was available, it was listed as a frame with a Wi-Fi speaker.
Although the ad has already been withdrawn, most of the details are known. The new Symfonisk measures 55 centimeters high, 40.64 centimeters wide and 5.08 centimeters deep . That is, as a classic decorative sheet for the wall.
Additionally, users will be able to choose between “multiple interchangeable fronts” and the frame will be offered in black or white finishes, just like the other two Ikea + Sonos speakers.
Technology-wise, this new Symfonisk will support Apple's AirPlay 2 , will support stereo pairing , even as back surrounds for a Sonos Arc soundbar or Beam, and can be controlled through the Sonos app.
Withdrawn from the web, some data remains a mystery. Among them, the launch date is totally unknown, but according to The Verge, the Ikea + Sonos speaker box will arrive on June 14 , in a few days. Its compatibility with other systems, such as connected home systems, beyond that of Ikea and Sonos, is also a mystery.
