BURLINGTON, ON , June 15, 2021 /CNW/ - Today, IKEA and Sonos are excited to announce the new SYMFONISK picture frame WiFi speaker which combines high performance sound into a beautiful piece of art. Following the multifunction design of the SYMFONISK lamp speaker and the SYMFONISK bookshelf speaker , both introduced to the IKEA range in 2019, the new SYMFONISK picture frame WiFi speaker serves as a piece of art that seamlessly blends into the home. The speaker will be available in black or white along with interchangeable fronts that offer a variety of artwork options.

"The space saving picture frame speaker is an innovative and adaptable solution merging technology into a beautiful form of wall art", says Mathias Karlsson , Director of Home Smart at IKEA Canada. "With the arrival of the new picture frame speaker within the IKEA Home Smart product line, we're enabling consumers to both inspire and enjoy a smarter everyday life at home".

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. As with previous SYMFONSIK 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.

"Each SYMFONISK speaker combines the Sonos sound experience with IKEA design in surprising new ways, creating products neither company would create alone," says Sara Morris , Principal Product Manager at Sonos. "Sonos' acoustic design means the picture frame speaker sounds amazing for such a compact shape, and the Sonos app means it is effortless to set up and effortless to use. 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 will be available at $249 CAD and it will arrive in all IKEA Canada stores from coast to coast and IKEA.ca starting July 15 ^th, 2021.
