IKEA Japan, the Japanese subsidiary of the Swedish home furnishing company with the vision of 'creating a better everyday life for the many people,' announced that the smarter VARMBLIXT LED table/wall lamp will be available at IKEA stores nationwide and the IKEA online store starting April 1, 2026. As part of its commitment to a simpler and more open smart home system, IKEA will also launch the 'KAJPLATS series' of LED bulbs, which are compatible with the universal 'Matter' standard. These will be available at IKEA stores starting April 1, 2026, and on the IKEA online store from May 1, 2026.
The VARMBLIXT LED table/wall lamp, designed by New Zealand-born, Netherlands-based designer Sabine Marcelis, combines IKEA's 'Democratic Design' philosophy with a minimalist form and intuitive light. In just over three years since its debut, it has become one of IKEA's most notable items. The new version features Matter compatibility, allowing for flexible control of color, brightness, and color temperature. The lamp features a soft matte white glass finish and can be adjusted to 12 preset colors curated by Sabine Marcelis, ranging from cool daylight to warm, candle-like yellow tones. Using the DIRIGERA hub and the IKEA Home smart app, users can access a full spectrum of over 40 colors and light intensities.
Designer Sabine Marcelis stated, 'We focused on what more we could explore within the iconic donut shape. The essence of VARMBLIXT is always about how we experience light. The new version, with its matte finish, allows light to spread softly from within.'
Additionally, the KAJPLATS LED bulb series is now Matter-compatible, offering starter kits and individual bulbs for stylish home lighting. IKEA continues its collaboration with Sabine Marcelis to explore the emotional value of light in daily spaces.
