Overview
- IKEA will ship the smart VARMBLIXT donut in April 2026 for $99.99, alongside a $149.99 color‑tunable pendant.
- The donut swaps glossy orange glass for matte white so internal colored light diffuses through the form while retaining wall or table placement.
- A pre‑paired BILRESA remote selects 12 presets curated by designer Sabine Marcelis, from cool work light to warmer party or cozy modes.
- Connecting through the Dirigera hub unlocks 40+ hues, dimming and app control, with Matter support for Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa.
- The pendant focuses on tunable white light with smooth transitions, and IKEA says the Marcelis collaboration continues with a 2027 collection.
