IKEA Kulglass lamp speaker
IKEA launched the Kulglass table lamp that doubles as a Bluetooth speaker, connects to Spotify, and is priced around £80, positioning it as a discreet piece of home tech that reads like decor (livingetc.com). The product is part of a design collaboration and was described as signaling IKEA’s move toward integrated, design‑forward smart accessories (livingetc.com).
IKEA is now selling KULGLASS, a table lamp with a built-in Bluetooth speaker, in the United States for $129.99. (ikea.com) The lamp is listed on IKEA’s United States site in dark green, and IKEA’s Sweden site lists the same product at 1,295 kronor. Both pages say the light bulb is sold separately. (ikea.com 1) (ikea.com 2) IKEA says KULGLASS works with any Bluetooth device, supports Spotify Tap, and can join the company’s multi-speaker mode with other compatible IKEA Bluetooth speakers. The product page says wireless range is at least 10 meters without interference. (ikea.com) KULGLASS arrives as IKEA expands a line of home electronics designed to look like decor instead of black-box audio gear. In a November 25, 2025 newsroom post, IKEA said its Teklan collaboration was meant to make technology “a more enjoyable and visible part of the home.” (ikea.com) That collaboration is with Swedish designer Tekla Evelina Severin, who works under the name Teklan. IKEA’s design story says the broader line includes speakers, lamps, speaker lamps and cables built around bold color and geometric forms. (ikea.com) IKEA’s own copy frames KULGLASS as the light-and-sound piece in that range. The company says the lamp’s swirled shade was inspired by soft-serve ice cream, while the Sweden product page says the design also drew on cherry blossoms, Art Deco and Japanese Kokeshi dolls. (ikea.com 1) (ikea.com 2) The launch also shows how IKEA is building out a simpler Bluetooth stack across home audio. Its $49.99 NATTBAD speaker and $89.99 VAPPEBY outdoor speaker lamp both use Spotify Tap, and both connect over Bluetooth rather than a broader smart-home platform. (ikea.com 1) (ikea.com 2) In practical terms, KULGLASS is being sold as a nightstand or side-table object that does two jobs at once: diffused light from a glass shade and audio from a built-in speaker. IKEA’s product page says it is meant for music, podcasts and audiobooks, and customer reviews on the United States listing split between praise for the design and criticism of the sound. (ikea.com) For IKEA, the pitch is not hidden tech but visible tech with softer edges. KULGLASS is a speaker you are supposed to leave out in the room, even when the music is off. (ikea.com)
