U.S. – IKEA announces the launch of Sektion, a new, versatile kitchen system that will hit U.S. stores on February 2, 2015.

Sektion offers new features such as more modularity, integrated lighting, inside drawer organization, and “drawers within drawers,” giving homeowners options to create individualized kitchen solutions. The new modular kitchen will replace the current kitchen system Akurum.

In developing Sektion, IKEA did extensive research into what the kitchen means to people today, discovering that functionality and ease of use are top-of-mind for customers. “At IKEA, we understand that people want to create a home that is comfortable, safe and welcoming for their friends and families,” says Kathleen Wilber, IKEA US Sales Leader for Kitchens. “For the new SEKTION kitchen, this meant creating a collection that that is beautiful, easy to use, and works for all of life’s everyday activities, from cooking and eating to socializing and doing homework.”
