Is a new Ikea kitchen system coming?

Thank you for the interesting contribution.

I am curious about what sizes the cabinet modules will come in. If it says, "The system is based on 20 /40/60/80/100 cm which makes it possible to create a completely unique solution." and that means, for example, that there will no longer be a 50 cm wide base cabinet, then I find that anything but good. In my current kitchen, this cabinet was the only option for a sink cabinet, and when the kitchen is very small, you also do not want to do without a 10 cm cabinet width.
I am surprised by the new design of the drawers, especially since new versions of the Rationell drawers (I suspect from Manuex (FGV)) have just recently been introduced in some countries.

I ask myself the same question, so what do you do with odd room widths? So far, there is not a single corner solution/corner cabinet shown in the pictures.

However, I assume that Ikea 1. has not shown everything yet and 2. will deliver what customers strongly demand. Maybe also depending on how well Faktum sells. According to the press release (translated by Google), there is a "two-year opportunity for supplementation" of Faktum, but it remains unclear what that means: Can current customers reorder parts or will the whole system remain in stores for now?

I am just glad that I no longer bought Faktum...

If you see how many shelves are filled only with Faktum, then I guess everything will only be orderable for two years, just like the discontinued fronts.

IKEA registered the name "Metod" back in 2011.

So it is now official that the fact will be replaced by Metod in April in Sweden and Denmark. Thus, the change will also come to Germany. Probably at the start of the catalog 2013 (September 1, 2013).

When you see how many shelves are stocked only with Faktum, then I suspect everything will only be orderable for two more years, just like the discontinued fronts.

Everything points to that: Although nothing is yet posted on the Swedish homepage, the following was just displayed to me in the online kitchen planner:

At IKEA, we constantly develop our range and on 3/6 we will replace our current kitchen system FAKTUM with a completely new system called METOD. You who have started planning before 3/6 have two options:
1: Continue planning your FAKTUM kitchen and complete your order by 30/9 2013 at the latest.
2: Save the kitchen measurements and transfer them to METOD from 3/6 2013 at the earliest.
FAKTUM, a fantastic kitchen system with high quality and a 25-year warranty, has been part of our range for over 20 years. FAKTUM has made it possible for our customers to create exactly the kitchen they dreamed of at a really good price.

Essentially, the date 30.09 is crucial: from then on, Faktum will be discontinued in Sweden. It will presumably proceed the same way here.

From then on, it is the end of Faktum in Sweden.

But not at the order level. Because if only a warranty case occurs, IKEA will not replace the entire kitchen since they no longer have anything in stock. Therefore, it will probably end at the order level.
