New Keilhauer Collection Elevates The Personal Experience

“The Danber sofa is the perfect marriage of commercial and residential. It is so inviting and comfortable as to beg people to sit, but subtle details provide a feeling of indulgence,” says VP Marketing, Meghan Sherwin of Keilhauer. “It proves that comfort and contract performance are not mutually exclusive.”

Designed for Keilhauer by Andrew Jones, Danber brings relaxation to work environments. The enveloping back, generous cushions and soft wooden legs convey warmth and luxury, while clean lines, a delicate form, and careful proportions add a contract feel. Together, they create an iconic soft-contract piece for the workplace today.

“I wanted Danber to put people at ease and make them feel they’ve come home to work. The design has an open, welcoming gesture, classic proportions and a subtle shaping that ensure it will work well with other lounge furniture in a great variety of interiors,” says designer Andrew Jones. “It balances welcome with work.”

Embracing, visually gripping and private, the overstuffed lounge chair is a recognized power seat. Lull provides that sense of power but focuses it to create a grounded, pensive space for deep thought. Designed for Keilhauer by Bendtsen Design Associates, smooth, swooping lines convey a sense of serenity while its curved high back provides sound dampening to create a private haven. A 360-degree swivel base allows the user to turn away from distraction, or towards colleagues for collaboration. “Lull is the ideal representation of allowing oneself personal space at work, of finding one’s comfort zone,” says designer, Neils Bendtsen.

Verge has the comfort of an oversized lounger but is scaled down to suit confined environments. Beautiful and inviting, Verge features plush, full cushions, a deep seat and an enveloping structure. Designed by EOOS, Verge comes with a 360-degree swivel on a 4-star wood base for mobility. “The wooden base is significant – it has volume to anchor the chair and adds warmth and softness to the piece,” says designer Martin Bergmann. “From the back, it can look like a big, round floating ball. From the front, it splits open to gesture to the space.”

Great ideas are not islands, they are progressive and build on what’s come before. It’s this insight that perpetuates the need for collaborative work environments and is what inspired EOOS in the creation of Garner. The modular sofa can be scaled up to suit large atriums, or down to create a cozy break area. Soft, beautiful cushions are supported by polished aluminum legs, whose lightweight structure provide the illusion of floating above the ground.

Just as teams and ideas are greater than the sum of their parts, so is Garner. “Garner works in every possible scale, but it is always configured from four simple, different elements placed on the platform: square seats, square tables, seat with back, and seat with two backs. And each element can be exchanged by every other element very easily,” explains designer Gernot Bohmann.

A highly industrial and technical system of aluminum extrusions and connectors is the hidden heart of Garner, allowing seats, tables, backs, cast legs and power elements to be mounted anywhere along the length of the rails. The highly engineered internal structure allows the exterior to remain quiet and serene. In-line tables in wood, laminate or Cambria stone can be added to increase functionality and demarcate work areas.

Introducing a new mid-back lounge chair that merges peace and productivity with ease. The flowing form of Ellaby creates intrigue while its molded cushions provide exceptional comfort. An easel-shaped base and dramatically contoured curves create an intriguing, inviting seat that balances work and rest.

“Ellaby is an evolution of the Coy chair we designed for Keilhauer in 2018,” explains Martin Bergmann. “A new expression of a design we love.”

Available with a mid-height back, Ellaby provides the oft-sought privacy of Coy; but, with its forward leaning posture and graduated pitch, it can also function as a working chair. It is ideally suited for lounging, reading, and for task-focused work such as client calls and note taking.
