SKS Expands Its Global Luxury Footprint with Premium Showrooms in Milan and Chicago

Signature Kitchen Suite is strengthening its global luxury positioning with two flagship showrooms — one in Milan’s design district and another in Chicago — each designed to immerse visitors in the brand’s “True to Food” philosophy.

The Milan space showcases SKS’s European design direction, featuring pro ranges with built‑in sous‑vide, column refrigeration, wine preservation and hybrid induction/gas solutions. It also serves as a collaboration hub for architects and kitchen studios.

The Chicago showroom leans into culinary experience, offering chef‑led demonstrations, ThinQ‑enabled appliances and premium refrigeration platforms within designer‑led kitchen vignettes.

For the trade, these showrooms underline SKS’s ambition to compete at the top end of the built‑in market, aligning the brand with global luxury players and signalling long‑term intent for wider European expansion

LG’s new built‑in products

LG’s new built‑in products were developed specifically for European homes, with a focus on platforms, user experience, and seamless integration.

Highlights include:

– Minimalist exteriors with reduced parting lines 
– Matte finishes designed to harmonise with European cabinetry 
– Top‑mounted freezer refrigerators, redesigned with multi‑level shelving and easy‑clean drawers 
– Fit&Max design philosophy — optimising space and usability (Fit) while maximising smart functionality and efficiency (Max)

This approach positions LG to compete more directly with established European built‑in specialists.

SKS 48″ Built‑In French Door Refrigerator Earns Consumer Reports Recommendation

The SKS 48″ Built‑In French Door Refrigerator has secured a Consumer Reports Recommended ranking — a major endorsement from one of the industry’s most trusted testing organizations.

Why It Stands Out

Consumer Reports evaluates appliances on temperature accuracy, food preservation, energy use, noise, and overall usability. SKS impressed across the board thanks to features designed for serious performance and modern luxury:

– Dual compressors for precise temperature control 
– Convertible drawer with five temperature modes 
– Dual ice makers, including Craft Ice™ 
– Seamless built‑in design with premium materials 

A Win for the Luxury Kitchen Market

For designers, builders, dealers, and homeowners, this recognition reinforces what SKS is known for: innovation, craftsmanship, and a True to Food™ approach that elevates every kitchen.

LG Names Michelin-Starred Chef Andrea Aprea as  Ambassador for LG & SKS

LG Electronics Group has appointed acclaimed Michelin-starred chef Andrea Aprea as the new ambassador for its premium built-in appliance brands, LG and Signature Kitchen Suite (SKS).

Chef Aprea epitomizes the dual spirit of LG’s built-in line—blending innovation with simplicity.

His philosophy aligns seamlessly with SKS’s True to Food ethos, which celebrates a deep respect for ingredients by honouring their quality, origin, and full potential

SKS launch at KBIS

At KBIS 2025, LG is set to captivate and inspire attendees with its rebranded SKS (SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE) ultra-premium built-in kitchen solutions. Visitors will experience the passion and authenticity behind SKS’s True to Food philosophy through the brand’s latest innovations, including the SKS 36-inch Cook-zone-free Induction Pro Range and the revolutionary Island System concept.

Executive Chef Nick Ritchie, from the SKS Experience & Design Center in Napa Valley, Calif., will host live culinary demonstrations featuring the SKS Pro Range and Combi Wall Oven. These cutting-edge appliances feature Gourmet AI™, which analyzes available ingredients and suggests optimal recipes and cooking modes for an elevated cooking experience.

The SKS showcase will also highlight “Technicurean” concept kitchens – where culinary expertise meets advanced technology. Designed for different facets of the Technicurean lifestyle, these kitchens seamlessly integrate SKS’s latest innovations, including the 24-inch column wine cellar with LG ThinQ™-enabled wine curation and the stylish SKS Transitional package.

Signature kitchen suite arriving in UK
