IKEA and Swedish House Mafia collaborate on OBEGRÄNSAD range including record player
IKEA has revealed new items in its OBEGRÄNSAD range, developed in collaboration with Swedish House Mafia. The music-related products, unveiled at Milan Design Week, include an armchair, a record player and a desk tailored for music production. The desk features two raised speaker stands at the rear, which IKEA says are designed to "bring the speakers to the ear level".
Beneath the desktop is a pull-out shelf that you could use to store a midi keyboard. The armchair is designed to help you unwind as you listen to music, and comes with adjustable straps. Little information has been revealed about the record player so far, which has a chunky yet minimal design.
IKEA has confirmed that you can connect the player to the brand's ENEBY Bluetooth speaker, to standard wired speakers or more advanced systems via an adapter. The company claims the more affordable record player will have a replaceable cartridge and needle from a well-known brand.
The partnership was struck in September 2021, with the first products, a series of IKEA FRAKTA bags including a laptop bag and a vinyl carrier, revealed last month. The 20-piece OBEGRÄNSAD collection will launch globally this Fall, with the product's prices yet to be announced. IKEA said the range aimed to
democratize music production at home and enable the many to unleash their passions and creativity."
