The VARMBLIXT<\/a>, Ikea’s donut-shaped lamp, was designed three years ago by Rotterdam-based industrial designer Sabine Marcelis.<\/a> Since then, it’s been selling like hotcakes; the company says they sell one every five minutes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now the design’s getting an upgrade, courtesy of Marcelis. The finish has been switched from glossy to matte, and instead of only coming in orange, she’s added color variability:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The lamp switches between twelve preset colours carefully curated by Sabine Marcelis. The sequence moves through different temperatures of white light, into glowing amber and warm red, through soft pink, cool lavender and turquoise, and on to gentle yellow tones, before circling back to white light. Each colour is chosen to transition smoothly into the next, allowing the atmosphere to shift gradually to another, without disrupting the feeling of a room.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“We spent a lot of time fine tuning the transitions between the curated colours,” says Marcelis. “What makes this lamp unique is that switching between colours is not a sudden change, but a very smooth journey through all the hues to get to the next colour. The light slowly moves through colour to in turn transform the colour of a space.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Additionally, connecting the lamp to Ikea’s Home Smart app provides access to additional hues, “across the full colour spectrum.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The lamp is expected to debut this April. The new price hasn’t been announced, but the incumbent design goes for $100. <\/p>\n
