LG Electronics (LG) announces the rebranding of its SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE to SKS at the 2025 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A., from February 25-27. Originally launched in 2016, the SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE brand now enters a new era with a refreshed identity and a new lineup of cutting-edge kitchen appliances under the SKS name.

The transformation reflects the brand’s refined aesthetic, modern positioning and steadfast commitment to sophisticated design and advanced innovation. The new “SKS” is designed to resonate more strongly with customers worldwide while maintaining the brand’s essence. This rebranding underscores SKS’s leadership in the luxury built-in appliances.

Despite global market challenges, SKS is poised to solidify its leadership by leveraging cutting-edge Core Technology, AI-driven convenience and sophisticated design. This strategy positions the brand as a key player in the growing built-in appliance market, reinforcing its position as a premier household appliance leader. Following KBIS 2025, LG will roll out a comprehensive brand renewal across all customer touchpoints, including retail stores and showrooms, and will expand its U.S. presence with a third showroom.

At KBIS 2025, LG is showcasing a range of innovative SKS appliances designed to enhance luxury kitchen aesthetics and functionality. Leading the lineup is the new 36-inch Cook-zone-free Induction Pro Range, featuring the industry’s first free-zone cooking surface range, allowing users to place cookware anywhere on the cooktop. This range also includes an advanced convection system for fast and even cooking, steam technology to preserve meal quality, a built-in camera for real-time monitoring and LG’s Gourmet AI™ for intelligent and precise heating control.

Complementing the Pro Range, SKS’s new dishwasher offers a flawlessly flush fit with standard-depth cabinetry. Aligning perfectly with the front edge of the counter, the dishwasher helps customers maintain the clean, uninterrupted lines of their custom-designed kitchen.

In addition, LG is introducing the groundbreaking SKS Island System, a highly-evolved kitchen island concept integrating LG’s cutting-edge cooking and ventilation technologies. This system features a hidden induction cooktop that blends with the countertop’s woodgrain finish when not in use, and a downdraft ventilation system with SKS’s proprietary air curtain technology for effective smoke and steam removal. Customizable built-in storage spaces around the ventilation system exemplify SKS’s commitment to personalized luxury.
