IKEA and Sonos release NEW WiFi Picture Frame Speaker


Finally, the SYMFONISK picture frame that plays your favourite tunes, now available in Australia.

The New SYMFONISK picture frame WiFi speaker will be available in Australian stores and online from January 2022, retailing at $299 each.

Customers will also have the option to purchase our Vinyl or Splash panels to customise their artwork. The panels will retail at $25 each.

Bring the perfect blend of art and sound into your home with the SYMFONISK picture frame WiFi speaker. The WiFi speaker provides a high-quality sound experience with a touch of art, combining IKEA's knowledge in home furnishing with Sonos audio expertise.

The SYMFONISK picture frame WiFi speaker comes in either black or white with a variety of fronts you can switch to depending on your 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.

"The new WiFi picture frame speakers take the art of music to a whole new level. You can now create different sound atmospheres in your home, elevating each space to reflect a mood. The interchangeable fronts make it easy to choose a style that suits your home, that matches your mood or fits with an occasion. The SYMFONISK picture frame speakers are versatile and eye-catching, and they are part of the growing IKEA Home smart range. Our ambition is to enable the many people to enjoy a smart home as part of everyday life", says Helen Longford, Home Furnishing Business Leader.

Together IKEA and Sonos want to democratise music and sound in the home and bring a better listening experience to the many people. With the new SYMFONISK picture frame WiFi speaker people can enjoy both room-filling sound and a beautiful piece of art. 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. With a curious mind-set, shared values and passion for great products, IKEA and Sonos will continue to challenge each other to find new solutions to enhance life at home through sound and music.

Research shows that many people believe music is the single most important ingredient for creating the right atmosphere at home. IKEA and Sonos recognise the importance of sound and its positive effect on life at home. Following the SYMFONISK lamp speaker and the SYMFONISK bookshelf speaker, introduced to the IKEA range in 2019, the new SYMFONISK picture frame WiFi speaker also serves a piece of art that seamlessly blends into the home.
