Keilhauer is proud to unveil Hout, a new seating family that combines the timeless appeal of wood with a distinctive, modern silhouette. Designed by the renowned Stockholm-based studio Afteroom, Hout blends simplicity, comfort, and sustainability to create a striking addition to today's evolving workplace.
Hout's aesthetic is inspired by classic A-frame structures seen in architecture. Its dynamic triangular wooden base acts as both a visual anchor and a structural foundation, supporting a softly curved seat and back. The eye is naturally drawn to the armrests, made of single pieces of formed plywood, where sleek lines converge in a harmonious focal point. Complemented by the softly upholstered seat with rounded edges, the design achieves a balance of visual lightness and inviting comfort.
Available in two distinct styles, the lounge features a relatively upright back, which lends itself to casual meeting spaces, while the attached seat and back cushions add even more softness and visual appeal. The side chair features a fully upholstered seat body and slightly firmer body, making it ideal for individual seating scenarios, such as at a desk or in a conference room.
The thoughtful, minimalist design approach ensures that Hout starts by using as little material as possible while delivering a maximum visual and functional impact. Reflecting Keilhauer's commitment to sustainable and responsible design, Hout is certified to the highest standards: BIFMA LEVEL® 3, Certified Carbon Neutral, Greenhealth Approved, and Indoor Air Quality certified at the Indoor Advantage Gold™ level. Designed by Afteroom and made by Keilhauer.
