IKEA SEKTION-Black and WhiteIf there's one thing urbanites complain about most, it's a yearning for more space. And while many of us pride ourselves in the art of minimalism, the one room that never ceases to lack capacity is, more often than not, the kitchen. <a href="http://inhabitat.com/nyc/index.php?s=ikea">IKEA</a> is sympathetic to this affliction, and this month introduced <a href="http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_CA/SEKTION-kitchen/sektion_inspiration.html">SEKTION</a>, a stylish new modular kitchen line that's not only tremendously pleasing to the eye, but specifically designed to provide storage upon storage, "drawers within drawers", and an insane level of organization customized to the cook's desire. We recently toured the Paramus, New Jersey showroom to give you an up-close look at these sustainable, swoon-worthy designs. Click through the gallery, and be prepared to drool.1
IKEA SEKTION-Modern Wood KitchenIKEA developed the concept of SEKTION after extensively researching the top needs of people in today's modern kitchen, discovering that ease of use and functionality was most important.2
IKEA SEKTION-Pop Out ShelvesThe 15 inch-deep overhead cabinets are easy to access as well, opening "up" rather than "out," thereby creating more reachable and organized space.3
IKEA SEKTION-Plate CabinetThe drawers and overhead cabinets are available in a myriad of size and material combinations, including bamboo and high gloss white, all of which can be virtually arranged at IKEA self-service digital kiosks before purchasing.4
IKEA SEKTION-DrawersThe highlight of <a href="http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_US/SEKTION-kitchen/index.html">SEKTION</a> is its stackable soft-close drawer system, which discreetly stows everything from kitchen tools, linens, pots and pans, to recycling bins, in easy to pull-out "drawers within drawers."5

IKEA SEKTION-White KitchenWith SEKTION there's a bit more assistance coming from IKEA kitchen experts and less of a '<a href="http://inhabitat.com/nyc/diy-how-to-make-your-own-industrial-style-shelf-out-of-inexpensive-pipe/">DIY</a>' feel, though customers are still welcome to design their own kitchens.11
