Keilhauer Expands Third Floor Presence at The Mart with New Showroom

(Chicago, IL – June 3, 2025) THE MART in Chicago is proud to announce the upcoming expansion of the Keilhauer showroom. The internationally recognized commercial furniture manufacturer, celebrated for its elegantly crafted, sustainable seating and tables, will more than triple its current footprint ahead of NeoCon 2026. A long-time tenant and NeoCon exhibitor, the North American-based company has maintained a presence at THE MART since 1998, and will soon relocate to an expansive 12,928 square foot new space on the third floor (Suite 399).

Marking a pivotal moment for the brand, this move will bring together Keilhauer’s two existing showrooms, Keilhauer and Division Twelve, into distinct yet adjoining spaces, elevating the brand’s profile at THE MART. The enhanced layout will allow for a comprehensive brand experience, showcasing Keilhauer’s full portfolio alongside Division Twelve’s signature, bent-metal collections for both indoor and outdoor use and highlighting the complementary nature of the two brands. The larger space will provide the opportunity to explore Keilhauer’s breadth of seating and table solutions, and as well as their new finishes offering. With Chicago’s central location, the showroom will also serve as its premier hub for North American customers during NeoCon and throughout the year.

“Keilhauer is excited to take this next step with THE MART, expanding our footprint and bringing our two brands together for a more impactful and cohesive experience,” says Mike Keilhauer, CEO of Keilhauer. “As our business and product offering have grown, this new space will provide the opportunity to tell a fuller story that highlights our innovative design, showcases our new finishes palette, and reinforces our commitment to sustainability.”

Byron Morton, Vice President & Co-Head of Leasing at THE MART, adds, “Keilhauer’s significant new showroom is a powerful reflection of the brand’s design leadership and long-standing influence in the industry. We’re honored to continue supporting their evolving needs and look forward to seeing this new vision come to life at NeoCon 2026.”

At NeoCon 2025, Keilhauer will mark its final year in its current showroom space (Suite #373) with a dynamic presentation tailored to today’s evolving workplace. As offices adapt to support a wider range of work styles and spatial needs, Keilhauer is debuting a collection of innovative, mobile, and flexible products designed to make every space multipurpose—whether for solo focus, team collaboration, or larger group meetings.

This year’s showroom experience, titled State of Flow, explores how office furniture must work harder and do more. Among the highlights is Unifi, a versatile lounge seating system that transitions effortlessly from individual chair to bench, with an optional tablet for added functionality. Also launching is Weve, a sleek nesting conference chair that provides extra seating when needed and tucks away neatly when not.
