History
SKS was introduced by LG Electronics in January 2016 as its luxury built-in kitchen appliance brand.[7] In early 2019, LG opened its first SKS appliance showroom for trade professionals, including architects, interior designers, general contractors and appliance retailers, called the "Experience & Design Center," in Napa, California.[9][10] In 2023, SKS opened its second showroom to trade professionals in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, inside LG's North American headquarters, called the "Skyline Showroom."[11]
At KBIS 2025, LG announced that the brand name would be shortened to SKS.[12][13] SKS also debuted new branding and products at the same show, including a 36-inch induction cooktop, the first released in industry.[14][15] In November 2025, SKS opened its first showroom open to consumers in Chicago, at the Merchandise Mart.[16][17]
Products
SKS produces several categories of built-in kitchen appliances. Its cooking products include professional-grade ranges, wall ovens, cooktops, microwave ovens and kitchen ventilation products, like kitchen hoods.[18] Its refrigeration offerings consist of French door, column (refrigerator and freezer) and under-counter refrigerators and wine-storage appliances.[18][19] The brand also manufactures built-in dishwashers.[18]
In 2018, SKS introduced a professional-style range with an integrated sous vide cooking module, a first in the industry.[20][21] In 2020, SKS expanded the sous vide module to four cooktops and wall ovens.[22] In 2024, SKS released a series of 30-inch combination, single and double wall ovens with AI-powered internal cameras, which could identify food in the oven and automatically suggest the proper cooking time and temperature, as well as share a live feed of the oven cavity via LG's ThinQ mobile app.[23] As of November 2025, all SKS appliances are Wi-Fi enabled and connect to the ThinQ app for remote control and diagnostics.[18]

In 2018, SKS received a Red Dot Design Award for its 48-inch dual-fuel cooktop.[24] In 2021, SKS won best home technology and best indoor product awards at KBIS for its 36-inch cooktop.[25] In 2023, the brand's 48-inch built-in French door refrigerator won awards from KBIS (Gold), American women's magazine Good Housekeeping (Best Kitchen Gear) and Good Design.[26][27] At the 2024 CES Innovation Awards, a part of the CES trade show (formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show), the brand was named an honoree for its 30-inch "combi" (or combination) wall oven and 30-inch induction cooktop.[28][29] In 2024, American news magazine Time listed the combination wall oven with an AI camera among its "Best Inventions of 2024."[30] In 2025, SKS received a Red Dot Design Award for its 36-inch induction range.[31]
