If you’re the type of person who likes to add a pop of color to every aspect of life, then you need to check out IKEA’s collaboration with multidisciplinary colorist Tekla Evelina Severin, more commonly known as Teklan. Together, IKEA and Teklan created two new colorways for the IKEA VAPPEBY Bluetooth speaker, and whether you’re team blue or team pink, you’re going to love taking this little speaker with you everywhere.

The VAPPEBY speaker is completely waterproof and offers 80 hours of playing time on a single charge. It’s only 3 inches by 3 inches, but packs a serious punch when it comes to playing music or podcasts. It was originally available in just black, but as part of an upcoming full collection with Teklan (due out in early 2026), you can now grab it in a blush pink or electric blue — which just so happens to be IKEA’s Color of the Year — for just under $15.

“This diminutive little speaker delivers [a] surprisingly clear and mighty sound!” one IKEA shopper wrote in their review. “Love it!”

And another person said this is actually the best Bluetooth speaker they’ve tried. “I own Bose, JBL, and a few other speakers (some two of each for stereo). VAPPEBY is not only the best value for money but the best battery life and arguably the best sounding,” they wrote. “If you compare design/size, quality of build, sound properties, and how long they play they are the best speakers I’ve owned. I listen to two [for] stereo sound. Thanks for the great product.”

If this is any indication, it’s going to be hard to wait for the full launch! Check out all three colors here to choose a favorite.
