CHICAGO, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SKS, the award-winning luxury built-in appliance brand backed by LG Electronics, today announced that its flagship showroom at THE MART in Chicago earned a coveted 2026 Red Dot Design Award, one of the world's most respected honors recognizing excellence in design and innovation.

The Red Dot Design Award is globally recognized as a benchmark for outstanding design quality, celebrating products, architecture and concepts that advance aesthetics, functionality and forward-thinking innovation. Selected from thousands of submissions worldwide, winners represent the highest standard of contemporary design.

Designed in collaboration with internationally acclaimed architect and designer Piero Lissoni, the award-winning showroom reflects SKS's Technicurean™ Living philosophy, seamlessly blending advanced technology with refined, minimalist design. Located within Chicago's premier design destination, THE MART, the space offers an elevated, immersive experience that integrates culinary performance with architectural sophistication.

"We're pleased to receive this recognition; an award helps to more clearly affirm the quality of a project and the value of teamwork," said Lissoni.

The Chicago showroom serves as a physical expression of SKS's commitment to innovation, craftsmanship and design leadership, offering consumers, designers and builders a dynamic environment to explore the future of luxury living.

Thoughtfully designed spaces, integrated appliances and visuals guide visitors through a cohesive journey that blends functionality with elevated style, starting with a striking 10-foot chandelier that leads into five fully-tailored kitchen vignettes featuring an array of SKS appliances. Further enhancing the showroom are LG MAGNIT Micro LED displays, delivering striking imagery and scale that elevates storytelling, ambiance and the overall luxury experience in the showroom.

This latest recognition builds on another recent accolade, the 2026 NKBA Innovative Showroom Award, which the brand received at this year's Kitchen & Bath Industry Show.

"The prestigious Red Dot Award further validates our commitment to creating immersive, design-driven environments where builders, designers, chefs and homeowners can experience SKS innovation in a meaningful way," said SKS Vice President Yance Choi. "This recognition marks another significant milestone for SKS as we continue to build momentum within the design and luxury homeowner communities."
