  • IKEA debuts colour-shifting Sabine Marcelis Varmblixt lamps at CES
    January 8, 2026, 6:24 AM EST. Swedish furniture giant IKEA is unveiling an updated Varmblixt doughnut lamp designed by Sabine Marcelis for its CES debut in Las Vegas. The new version swaps the original glossy, coloured surface for a matte white glass finish that glows from within, with a dimmable, colour-changing bulb controlled by a handheld remote. It includes 12 preset colours. The lamp, launched in 2023 as part of a 20-piece collection, quickly sold out and became a viral hit. IKEA also showed a smart version of the Varmblixt pendant, emphasising white light and a hue spectrum from cool white to warm amber. IKEA global range manager David Granath said the doughnut lamp's appeal lies in its shape, atmospheric light, and affordable price; one US sale happens every five minutes.
