reproduces spotify without touching the mobile and keeps more surprises

It looks like a radio from another era, but inside hides functions that we did not see coming. Ikea has launched a Bluetooth speaker called Nattbadwith retro design, wireless function and something that usually reserves to some headphones: the possibility of reproducing spotify without having to look for the mobile at home.

Vintage design with modern spirit

Nattbad is designed not to go unnoticed. Its rectangular shape, its rounded corners and its front grid remind the desktop radios of decades ago. Ikea has thrown it into three colors – negral, pink and yellow – and presents it as an object designed not only to sound, but to be part of the space.

The design responsible is Jon Eliason, who defines it as a “social meeting point at home”, inspired by those family radios that gathered people before streaming.

One of Nattbad’s most curious details is his integration with Spotify tap. This function allows Put music by pressing a buttonwithout having to unlock the mobile or open the application. And if you don’t like what it sounds, you can press again for the system to choose another song. It is a more direct and unusual way of listening to music outside the headphones market.

In addition to sounding on its own, Nattbad allows you to link several speakers with each other to play the same music in different rooms. There is no need for an app, nor a specific Wifi network: it is enough to have more than one speaker and link them through Bluetooth.
