Bought some furniture for the living room and then found out about this upcoming opportunity - there has been a very interesting renaissance in analog synthesizers. All of the old patents have expired and the circuits can be made with modern components. You get the same sonorities with a lot less noise, better stability, smaller size and cheaper cost.
teenage engineering is one company in Sweden making these new devices and they paired up with IKEA for a limited run of devices. From this IKEA document (PDF):
FREKVENS
A limited collection in collaboration with teenage engineering
No music, no party, right? Music is one of the most powerful and uniting cultural forces in society. It is something that unites people and amplifies emotions. Social life in homes are often centered around music, so having good sound in every room of the home has become a dream for many. This inspired a limited collection called FREKVENS.
Sales starting February 2020, FREKVENS limited collection consists of products that allow you to start a party easily in your home, or somewhere else. Wherever the music takes you.
The core of the collection, a portable music system was created with the creative collective teenage engineering. Inspired by the movement and ambience of a party, the solitaire speakers have modular possibilities allowing you to turn them into a sound system. Then just attach some LEDs, spotlights and choose your spotlight accessories for a totally unique party.
There are a lot more than just speakers and lighting at the document - some great mugs (tiki and totem) as well as furniture and wear.
