Richelieu Debuts Smart, Stylish, and Accessible Innovations at WMS 2025

Redefining the future of design, next-generation concepts fuse technology, elegance, and practicality into every detail

Richelieu proudly presents a dynamic array of new, design-forward innovations at this year’s Woodworking Machinery and Supply Conference and Expo (WMS). Held November 12-14 at the Toronto Congress Centre, WMS is Canada’s leading marketplace for woodworking professionals,  connecting top manufacturers, designers, and suppliers from across the globe. At this year’s event, Richelieu showcases a lineup of cutting-edge hardware systems, decorative panels, lighting, and smart security technologies—all designed to enhance accessibility, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal in residential and commercial spaces.

From versatile storage systems for kitchens, closets, and garages to thoughtfully engineered products for individuals with reduced mobility, Richelieu’s new products enhance comfort, efficiency, and quality of life in the home and beyond.

Advancing Accessibility and Ergonomic Design

A highlight of Richelieu’s new product lineup is the company’s collaboration with Granberg, a renowned European manufacturer of accessible kitchen and living solutions. The partnership marks an exciting step forward in Richelieu’s mission to bring inclusive, design-driven innovation to the North American market. Products such as the Butler 730 pushbutton wardrobe lift, the Baselift 6600 height-adjustable worktop system, and the Verti 840 motorized lift for upper cabinets exemplify this commitment to making modern kitchens more ergonomic, flexible, and universally accessible.

Decorative Hardware: Where Artistry Meets Function

Combining artistry and function, Richelieu’s new decorative hardware collections add refinement and personality to any space. The sculptural ALBA Collection, inspired by the jewelry designs of the late Italian artist Alba Lisca Polenghi, showcases graceful curves and contrasting metals. An expanded collection of refrigerator, cabinet, and furniture pulls, ranging from traditional to contemporary styles, offers woodworkers, designers, and homeowners fresh ways to express their creative vision.

Organized and Stylish Garages

Modern garages are becoming organized, visually appealing extensions of the home.  Richelieu’s customizable storage systems help maximize efficiency and style. The Slatwall system offers panels, hooks, baskets, bike racks, and other accessories to keep spaces neat and functional, transforming the garage into an appealing space that complements the home’s overall design.

Open Storage Systems for Modern Living

As open-concept living continues to be a hallmark of contemporary design, Richelieu introduces open storage systems crafted to enhance style and function. Inspired by luxury retail design, the VERTIKO storage system features concealed aluminum profiles that create the illusion of floating elements for sleek closets and living spaces. The LOGO III modular system can be customized to fit virtually any space with floor-to-ceiling or wall-mounted configurations that support rods, shelves, and drawer units. The YOUK open shelving system features six different configurations that can be combined as desired for the ultimate flexibility.
