KEEL™

Modular, elegant and all about balance.

KEEL, the new casegoods solution by ABCO 2.0, is all about

creating balance —in open plan settings, private oices, mixed

use spaces, and everything in between.

The key to all that balance lies at the heart o the design,

with what we call the keel. Designer Paul James was inspired by

the keel in shipbuilding—the spine o the ship, which gives

balance and strength to the whole structure. In our casegoods,

the keel is a simple, integral piece that provides not just balance

and strength, but easy assembly and plenty o lexibility, too,

or a broad range o solutions.

Introducing KEEL

Everything—rom worksuraces and storage

to accessories—attaches to the keel, an integral

piece that provides strength and symmetry.

Easy to spec. Easy to install.

You speciy KEEL the same way you install it: Start with a

base cabinet and a KEEL panel o the same width. Then build

up, and out—however you choose! It’s that simple.

KEEL Panel + Case = Base Cabinet

Choosing a base cabinet that its your ootprint and

unctional needs is the starting point or speciying your

KEEL workstations. Once the case is attached to the

KEEL panel o the same width, the unit becomes the strong,

sturdy support or everything you add rom there –

worksuraces, storage and accessories.

1

Build out.

All attached worksuraces—both rectangular and 135°

elbow—are supported on one side by connection to the

KEEL panel’s rail, and on the other side by the surace-to-

loor support style o your choice.

2

.

Attach the KEEL panel to the matching-width case using easy-to-secure brackets.

Ta-da! You now have your base cabinet and the oundation o your coniguration.

And here’s a bonus: The case ships ully assembled, decreasing installation time!

Worksuraces are easily attached to the KEEL panel using a cam pin or bolt, and they

can be positioned wherever you want along the rail. Four worksurace support options

are available to suit all applications.

3 Build up.

Attached storage cabinets are available in a wide range

o heights and widths. Spec cabinets o the same height

or a combination o several inished heights, depending

on the desired unction and look you want to achieve.

Once again, it’s the sturdy base cabinet unit that supports attached hutches and

storage cabinets. The base cabinet shoulders the weight, while the embedded rail

secures the unit or extra stability.



The KEEL Panel with Rail and Case

The KEEL panel, which comes in ive widths (rom 4 to 8 eet), lays the

groundwork or your entire casegoods design. The rail, embedded in

the panel, is the element that everything attaches to, providing stability,

lexibility, and easy installation. When you add a matching width case,

you have the oundational base cabinet.

Worksuraces

Two worksurace shapes are available—rectangular and 135° elbow—

in 24" or 30" depths and up to eight widths. Some worksuraces

are designed to attach to the KEEL panel, using one o our support

options, while others are reestanding.

Attached Storage Cabinets

Your KEEL casegoods design is built up with a variety o storage

components, which can be tiered or inished heights o 49", 63"

and 71". Vertical and horizontal storage, supported by the base

cabinet, is available with open shelves, hinged or sliding doors,

and has shared storage with access rom both sides. Wall-mounted

storage hutches are also available.

Freestanding Storage Cabinets

Round out your storage needs with reestanding cabinets,

speciied with shelves, doors, drawers, closets, or a combination.

Accessories

Privacy and modesty panels are available in three heights and

eight widths to it a variety o worksurace lengths and conigurations.

Seat pads can be used on base cabinets or mobile pedestals

or additional guest seating.

Thin proile LED lighting is available in 6", 19" and 37" widths

or installation below overhead storage.

Other organizational accessories and those or managing power

and data are also available.

Filing

Lateral iles and mobile pedestals provide additional archival

storage and the daily iling o documents. The pedestal easily rollsunder the worksurace or eicient storage in a small ootprint.

Adding a seat pad provides additional guest seating or impromptu

meetings and collaboration.

Cabinets & Horizontal Storage

Vertical storage cabinets rest on the base cabinet to oer above-

the-surace shel and door storage in three heights and three widths.

Adding horizontal storage provides a counter-height surace.

Base Cabinet

Your base cabinet unit establishes the width o your installation

(it can be speciied in one o ive widths, rom 4 to 8 eet). It’s also

where you begin making unctional and aesthetic choices—KEEL

cases are available with a variety o storage options, and they can

accommodate a cushion or additional guest seating.



Power up. And out of sight.

With KEEL, power is always where you need it, but never

in the way. The secret to all that neat convenience? The KEEL

panel, o course, which allows power to be run all the way

through the system, with access anywhere along the base cabinet.
