Keilhauer Launches the New Neutrals Finishes Collection: Vibrant Colors, Timeless Versatility

May 1, 2025 (Toronto, ON) – Keilhauer, a leading North American commercial furniture designer and manufacturer, is proud to unveil its latest color and finish refresh: a comprehensive collection of 17 new and updated plastic colors and powder coats available across all product lines. Developed in close collaboration with color experts from Gabriel Group, this thoughtful collection redefines the concept of “neutral” by introducing new colors that are both vibrant and versatile, rooted in nature’s calming palette.

Keilhauer’s objective in developing this refreshed offering was to create an inspiring and timeless palette—one that harmoniously blends hard and soft materials across furniture lines. With colors available across plastics and powder coats, designers can now mix and match finishes across materials and furniture pieces with ease, achieving a cohesive yet creative look throughout any space. Guided by principles of biophilic design, the new colors and finishes aim to foster emotional connections to nature within interior environments. These hues don’t demand attention – they soothe, settle, and support thoughtful, human-centered spaces.

“These finishes were developed not just to look beautiful, but to make spaces feel better—more human, more focused, more alive,” said Maggie Keilhauer, Associate Creative Director, Keilhauer. “It was a truly collaborative journey with Gabriel Group. Their color expertise helped us thoughtfully craft finishes that elevate our product offering and deepen our commitment to wellbeing, beauty, and connection.”

The design process included a careful study of color scales—hue, saturation, brightness—and the emotional responses they evoke. The result is a series of intentional, “mindful moments” that embrace material exploration and deliver a palette capable of transitioning seamlessly across diverse environments. From earthy greens to softened reds and tranquil blues, these “new neutrals” bring the outside in—delivering a grounded, calming presence to modern interiors.

This finish refresh launches alongside Keilhauer’s newest textile, Loop—a vibrant and dynamic addition that complements the new palette. Loop presents a lively range of colors in a notably soft, heathered texture, designed with a multi-directional structure that adds dimension to any piece. Made from 100% recyclable polyester, Loop offers a sustainable and highly adaptable solution for today’s design-forward workplaces.

The complimentary colors and tones in the new finishes and the Loop textile work together enabling designers to explore and create within our carefully curated palette. With this collection, Keilhauer makes it easy to bring the calming essence of nature into the workplace – promoting wellness, grounding, and a sense of balance in any space.
