New retro Bluetooth speakers from Ikea [1] ['Rob Beschizza'] Date: 2025-10-28 Ikea has a knack for offering good gadgets at a great price (Exhibit A: the Teenage Engineering collabs) and I wish it'd get a little more ambitious. But the Blomprakt is a typical offering from the Swedish retailer: a bluetooth lamp-speaker combo, ostentatiously minimal in white, black or pale blue plastic. [via Notebook Check] This versatile speaker can be placed at different angles to suit your needs – the dual cord slots underneath make it easy to reposition while maintaining its sleek look. Allows you to always listen to your favorite music or podcast – all you need is your phone, computer or other Bluetooth device. With a simple press and hold, you can seamlessly dim the light and create a perfect atmosphere for any occasion and activity. It was designed by Jon Eliason and in stores now for $60.

You can set them up as a stereo pair, too, or more: [END] --- [1] Url: https://boingboing.net/2025/10/28/new-retro-bluetooth-speakers-from-ikea.html Published and (C) by BoingBoing Content appears here under this condition or license: Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 3.0. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/boingboing/
