IKEA’s Latest Lamp Is Pure Vibes (And Under $20!)

The best way to achieve a moody aesthetic is through the use of table lamps, and it’s not just about using a warm glow bulb. IKEA’s new STRÅLA lamp is more of an aesthetic sculpture than a regular light fixture, thereby expressing your unique taste while providing pure vibes.

The STRÅLA lamp, included in Gustaf Westman’s holiday collaboration with IKEA, is a rechargeable, battery-operated mood light; it can be styled flat or as a 3D sculpture, thanks to the hinged circles around the LED bulb. You can even carry it like a lantern, using the larger circle as a handle (how chic!). 

The light is dimmable to customize its brightness, and it charges using a USB-C cord. The bubblegum pink color makes this light an instant conversation starter, and it’s already skyrocketing to fame on social media.

This sculptural lamp is such a statement piece that I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes hold of people just like IKEA’s doughnut lamp did in 2022. (The fact that it’s already sold out online is telling in itself.) The color and rounded shape are telltale signs of a Westman piece, so if you’re already a fan, this is an iconic find to add to your collection. 

It’s available at IKEA for just under $20, making it an absolute steal for the artwork it is! Check your local IKEA store to see if it’s still in stock and, if so, grab one before they disappear for good. The STRÅLA is the ultimate find for big light haters like me — it’s warm, glowy, stylish, and sets the mood instantly.
