Designers of office interiors often must balance flexible work patterns, circulation routes, technology needs and brand culture while fitting furniture into existing floor plans that include columns, elevator shafts and structural walls.
To address those constraints, Keilhauer has introduced two modular seating collections created with the design studio EOOS, aimed at turning awkward architectural leftovers into usable work zones.
Pact Flex offers granular length options
Each element is offered in thirty-six different lengths ranging from twenty-five inches to sixty inches, a range that is normally reserved for special orders, yet the company supplies it within standard lead times.
Three base configurations are provided: a minimalist seat-and-back cushion that can be set into millwork with or without slim legs, and a fully upholstered version that features an oak kickplate, allowing the system to blend with many interior styles. “This product was designed to fit into spaces exactly as needed, eliminating compromises or delays commonly associated with custom length benching,” said CEO Mike Keilhauer. The statement highlights the intent to avoid the long wait times that often accompany bespoke furniture.
By The Foot targets continuous benching
The second system, By The Foot, follows the same modular philosophy but concentrates on continuous benching, arriving in one-foot increments that line up with structural elements instead of forcing designers around fixed dimensions.
Standard ganging hardware simplifies assembly into a variety of layouts, while an ergonomic eighteen-inch seat height keeps the profile low without sacrificing comfort. The design therefore supports both aesthetic cohesion and functional ergonomics.
Optional power accessories include a built-in outlet, a USB-A port and a USB-C port, allowing users to connect devices wherever the seating is placed. These features give occupants immediate access to charging points without additional wiring.
For employees working in previously unusable corners, the ability to order precisely sized sections means they can sit closer to collaborators or reach power without crowding walkways, turning neglected spots into functional gathering areas. This flexibility helps teams stay connected even in tight footprints.
