A New IKEA Lamp Is Going Viral for Its Unique Design (and This Sleek Hidden Feature)
Decor doesn’t always fit squarely into one category; sometimes that’s a really good thing. There’s a lamp from IKEA that’s currently going viral on TikTok because, while it looks like a standard table lamp, it’s actually a Bluetooth speaker in disguise. It’s stylish, comes in two striking colorways, and produces sound that rivals top-quality speaker brands — all at a fraction of the price.
“My favourite item at the moment,” TikTok user Helena De Backer wrote in a recent caption of a video she posted that now has over 25,000 likes.
“Stop, I love this,” one person commented on Helena’s post. Another said, “Omg I NEED.”
The KULGLASS Sets the Mood in More Ways than One
The KULGLASS is the latest IKEA Bluetooth speaker to make waves online. The lamp base serves as the speaker, which can swiftly be connected to other IKEA Bluetooth speakers in your space to give you a surround-sound effect. It can link to any phone or computer and even comes with Spotify Touch already installed, which means you can pick right up from where you left off on your playlist.
The lampshade itself is made from beautifully tinted glass; it gives any bulb a soft, warm glow.
“This is one of the most practical items in my condo! And I can put them in several rooms!!” one person wrote in their review on IKEA’s website. Someone else added, “The lamp/speaker is nice to look at, has a nice glow and the sound is surprisingly good. Easy to use.”
And another shopper shared that it’s a great alternative to classic soundbars. “It has sound quality that isn’t audiophile-grade but is pleasant for relaxed music sessions,” they wrote. “I connected the speaker to a Xiaomi media player (MiBox4), meaning I’m using this speaker as a soundbar that plays everything transmitted by the media player … I installed an IKEA RGB bulb (Kajplats) with a remote control to change the color or brightness. Everything works very well. I recommend it.”
This isn’t the only stylish Bluetooth speaker IKEA has to sell — in fact, there’s an entire collection to shop. This one, for example, looks more like a piece of artwork than it does a speaker (and you can’t beat the $50 price!).

Things aren’t always as they seem. Sometimes the lamp is actually a speaker, and there’s really nothing cooler than that!
