Haworth showcases India-made workplace solutions at ORGATEC India 2026

Haworth will showcase its workplace solutions at ORGATEC India 2026, scheduled from 19 to 21 November at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai. Under the theme ‘Future of Workspaces. Build for Those Who Build India’, the company will present its approach to workplace design, manufacturing in India and product longevity.

At the centre of its showcase will be ‘Workplace Through the Senses’, an experiential display exploring how colour, lighting, acoustics and materials influence comfort, focus, collaboration and employee wellbeing. The booth will bring together solutions from Haworth, BuzziSpace, Hushoffice and Cappellini, with a focus on sensory-inclusive design and workplaces that accommodate different needs and working styles.

Henning Figge, President, Haworth International, said workplace design increasingly needed to respond to employee experience, collaboration and wellbeing. He added that research-led design could help organisations create environments suited to a wider range of human needs.

As part of ORGATEC India's Workspace Dialogues programme, Haworth will co-host two panel discussions. The session ‘Future of Workspaces: Designing for the Senses’ on 19 November will examine neurodiversity, acoustics and sensory-inclusive design. On 20 November, ‘Designing the Next Generation of Indian Workplaces’ will discuss changing workforce expectations, organisational culture and the evolving needs of Indian businesses.

Manufacturing and circularity in focus

Haworth will also highlight its manufacturing operations in India. The company has been present in the country since 1997 and opened its manufacturing facility in Chennai in 2014. Its India-made products are BIS-certified. A second factory under construction in Chennai is expected to double its plant space.

Praveen Rawal, Vice-President – Sales, Asia Pacific, Haworth, said the company's approach combines global research with an understanding of local workplace requirements. He highlighted the growing importance of acoustics and other design considerations in supporting focus and collaboration.

The showcase will include a live demonstration of Haworth's Second Life programme, which focuses on product durability, repairability and extending the useful life of workplace furniture. The initiative encourages organisations to consider refurbishment and product longevity as part of workplace planning and procurement.

Manish Khandelwal, Managing Director, Haworth India, said the company aimed to combine locally manufactured products, workplace design and more considered product life cycles to address the changing requirements of Indian businesses.
