Keel and Company is the culmination of a love for mid-century furniture and design. Comprised of two founding members, Charlie Keeling and Keely Beal. Charlie and Keely spent the majority of their initial dates exploring their shared interest of design and furniture hunting. As their acquired collection outgrew their apartment's capacity, the pair decided to venture into a business partnership.
Keel and Company began operating as an online store, initally selling predominantly to friends and family. In the summer of 2020, they took the leap to open a brick-and-mortar pop-up location.After two years, Charlie and Keely decided to open their permanent flagship location at 111 Old Williamson Road Raleigh, NC. Keel and Company has undergone several iterations, continuing to evolve with the interests of Charlie and Keely, ranging between film set and production design to designing their own furniture. However, the primary goal remains the same, to source an eclectic mix of heirloom pieces for their clients.
