October 7, 2024 (Toronto, ON) – Keilhauer is excited to announce that our flagship New York City Showroom was honoured with a 2024 ARIDO Award in the “Shop” category. This award recognizes the exceptional redesign of the space, led by the renowned design firm Figure3.
The ARIDO Awards recognize outstanding work by Registered Interior Designers in Ontario, evaluating design excellence; as well as newly introduced criteria addressing diversity, equity, inclusion, and sustainability.
“New York City is undeniably one of the world’s premier design hubs, and our showroom stands as a testament to that creative spirit,” says Meghan Sherwin, President of Keilhauer. “The space reflects Keilhauer’s brand while providing an engaging and evocative experience for visitors.”
Located in the New York Design Centre, the Keilhauer showroom’s new look was unveiled February 2024 after a full renovation. Keilhauer’s belief in Design That Sustains is captured throughout the space, illustrating the tenets of lasting quality, enduring aesthetics, and respect for the environment. Key features include a stunning large-scale limestone entry-way feature wall, a sleek luxury event kitchen, and Koepe brand wood-effect porcelain tiles arranged in a striking herringbone pattern. Warm lounges, collaborative workspaces, and a design center allow guests to experience for themselves how Keilhauer products can enhance any workspace environment.
Figure3 worked with Keilhauer’s brand palette, incorporating charcoals, alabasters, deep blues, and accents of golden orange to create an aspirational and inviting aesthetic. Two back-lit panels feature Keilhauer’s rich and captivating product photography, which function as interchangeable art pieces. Keilhauer’s own photography is accompanied by contemporary art pieces hand-selected by the Keilhauer and Figure3 teams.
Sustainability was a foundational principle in the showroom’s design, incorporating materials such as carbon-negative and water-restoring Mohawk carpeting, and sustainably sourced Koepe stone. Energy efficiency was also designed into the space with LED lighting, and a complete HVAC retrofit.
