Our portal also has a special catalogues section to allow professionals and operators in the sector to view in a practical way all the catalogues relating to the various products (furniture hardware, upholstery materials, furniture paints, etc.). In addition, to allow easy consultation of the products, our portal has reserved a product section, organized by categories, where you can find out about the technical characteristics, materials and functionality of each product. The video section, on the other hand, presents numerous video interviews given by professionals and manufacturers that report news, insights and informative content on the best technologies in the sector.

 

In addition, to keep you constantly informed you can also consult our Journal section which contains all the Furnishing Idea magazines dedicated to the furniture and furnishing industry, such as the edition dedicated to Sicam or Interzum, two of the most important trade fairs in the sector.

High-end built-in appliances from Signature Kitchen Suite: double presence at Salone and Fuorisalone

SKS (Signature Kitchen Suite), a high-end built-in appliance brand that is part of the LG Electronics group, is participating in Milan Design Week 2026 with a dual presence: on the one hand the exhibition stands at EuroCucina/FTK (Hall 4, Stand C24–C31) designed by GamFratesi, and on the other the Milan showroom at Via Manzoni 47 that fully showcases the group's built-in offering.

 

The showroom: a laboratory of awareness 

In the showroom, alongside the SKS line, the LG premium built-in solutions will also be presented, expanding the design possibilities for kitchens and contemporary home environments. The renewed collaboration with Schiffini will also help redefine some of the exhibition settings through a new selection of kitchens and the presentation of the wardrobe collection. 

The showroom will also host the “Feeding the Future” event, a reflection on more conscious consumption. As a promoter of a philosophy oriented towards respect for raw materials, SKS, together with LG, explores the role of technology as a concrete tool to reduce food waste.  Visitors will be guided, also thanks to the support of artificial intelligence, through a journey that explores the life cycle of food, highlighting its potential and suggesting virtuous practices for preservation and use.

 

Tracce capsule collection: relationship between technology and decoration

SKS continues its project of taking the appliance beyond the kitchen space thanks to the new Tracce capsule collection, developed in collaboration with Abet Laminati, which recovers and reworks some historic patterns signed by protagonists of Milanese radical design. The collection dresses the SKS under-counter appliances, the wine cellar and the convertible refrigerator, transforming them into bold and unconventional elements with a strong visual and narrative impact. 

The selected graphics pay tribute to the masters of Milanese radical design such as Bacterio by Ettore Sottsass (in red and yellow variants), Digital Circus by Alessandro Mendini (in the photo below) and Misura by the Superstudio collective (in red and blue versions).
