A New Vision for the European Premium Built-in Market
Under the theme "Feeding the Future," this year's exhibition at the SKS Milan Showroom marks the first anniversary of the SKS rebranding. The impressive display highlights SKS's distinctive built-in identity, technological innovation and design competitiveness, while also serving to raise the luxury brand's profile and reaffirm its commitment to exceeding European customers' expectations.

An Immersive Culinary Experience Led by Premium Design and Technology
Newly renovated and upgraded, the SKS Milan Showroom will host a series of immersive events aligned with LG's vision for a better life. These include "Feeding the Future," an AI-assisted experiential journey that guides visitors through different stages of the food lifecycle, from ingredient storage to preparation and use. The program explores ways to maximize the potential of ingredients and promote more thoughtful food storage and usage practices, supported by SKS and LG's advanced technologies, and concludes with an anti-waste tasting experience.
During Milan Design Week, the showroom will also host a special invitation-only event for the local "Life Genius" LG fan community, made up of customers who share the brand's passion for better living. A sommelier-led program will guide participants through the showroom, with wine pairings meticulously matched to the theme of each space and to the sophisticated features of LG's built-in technologies. The event will culminate in a dinner prepared by a Michelin-starred chef, demonstrating how SKS and LG's built-in appliances can be used to create premium-quality cuisine and a more elegant kitchen environment.

Die Kraftstoffpreise in Deutschland ziehen kurz vor dem Start des staatlichen Tankrabatts wieder spürbar an. Nach einer längeren Phase sinkender oder stabiler Tarife hat sich der Aufwärtstrend über das vergangene Wochenende verfestigt. Nach Daten des ADAC lag der bundesweite Tagesdurchschnitt für einen Liter Super E10 am Sonntag bei 2,099 Euro – der fünfte Anstieg in Folge. Mitte der Woche hatte der Preis noch rund 4 Cent darunter gelegen.
Diesel verteuerte sich im gleichen Zeitraum noch deutlicher. Innerhalb von vier Tagen stieg der bundesweite Tagesdurchschnitt um 6,8 Cent auf 2,195 Euro je Liter. Damit kostet E10 derzeit rund 32 Cent mehr als vor Kriegsbeginn in der Ukraine, Diesel liegt sogar 45 Cent darüber. Gleichwohl bewegen sich die aktuellen Werte noch unter den Höchstständen rund um Ostern, als die Preise für beide Sorten deutlich stärker ausschlugen.
Marktbeobachter verweisen auf den Ölpreis als wichtigen Treiber der jüngsten Entwicklung. Der internationale Rohölmarkt steht wieder stärker unter Druck, nachdem geopolitische Spannungen zugenommen haben. Insbesondere die Schiffsblockade an der strategisch wichtigen Straße von Hormus hat die Notierungen für Rohöl zuletzt nach oben getrieben und damit die Kostenbasis für Raffinerien und Mineralölgesellschaften erhöht.
Für Verbraucher und Unternehmen bedeutet der jüngste Anstieg, dass die erwartete Entlastung an der Zapfsäule durch den ab 1. Mai vorgesehenen Tankrabatt begrenzt sein könnte. Beim Diesel, für den der Staat pro Liter auf 16,7 Cent Steuern verzichten will, zeichnet sich ab, dass der Preis trotz Entlastung wohl oberhalb von 2 Euro je Liter bleiben dürfte. Angesichts der hohen Volatilität am Ölmarkt und der anhaltenden geopolitischen Unsicherheiten bleibt jedoch offen, ob sich der aktuelle Aufwärtstrend fortsetzt oder die Preise in den kommenden Wochen erneut drehen.
