04 Mar 2026 CW Team

Teknion has opened a dedicated Collaboration Hub in Bengaluru, marking a key step in the company’s global growth strategy and strengthening its presence in India’s expanding design ecosystem.

Located in the city centre, the new showroom offers architects, designers and customers an environment to explore Teknion’s design philosophy through a curated display of the company’s core workplace solutions alongside partner brands.

Designed as an experiential destination rather than a conventional showroom, the hub is organised around Teknion’s WorkCycle Framework — Connect, Collaborate and Concentrate — reflecting the evolving rhythms of modern workplaces. The space enables visitors to engage with materials, products and workplace strategies through an immersive and tactile environment.

Maxine Mann, President, Worldwide Markets, Teknion, said, “India is an important and growing market, and this investment underlines our long-term commitment. The Collaboration Hub, together with our new manufacturing facility, reflects Teknion’s confidence in the region and our intent to support customers with the quality, design, and service that define our brand.”

The facility also complements Teknion’s new manufacturing unit in India, supporting local production, regional sourcing and a reduced carbon footprint as part of the company’s sustainability and circular design approach.
