Furniture industry has thrown up a whole new segment in premium modular office furniture — and big-ticket Indian firms are diversifying their product lines to cater to this cash-rich sector. Krishna Kumar Mangalam reports

Furniture industry in India is concentrated in the unorganized sector with 85% of it coming from individual, cottage, and small industries. One study estimates the total size of this market at Rs 3,500 crore. Of this, the market for office furniture in commercial establishments and service sectors accounts for Rs 1,100-1,200 crore, while premium office furniture, or designer furniture, commands a market share of Rs 400-500 crore.

With government liberalizing FDI norms in this sector, several MNCs and bigticket Indian players have set up state-ofthe-art production facilities aimed to cater to the IT, ITeS, and other service and manufacturing industries, which have hired a lot of office space and hope to boost their operations, even during this period of a global downturn, as India and China are the only two major economies in the world with their GDPs growing at around 7%. Some of these players, including MNCs, are Haworth, Herman Miller, Godrej & Boyce Manufacturing Co Ltd, BP Ergo, Steelcase, Teknion, etc.

Starting in 2004, Wipro started to manufacture and market furniture and seating products, and in 2009 it invested Rs 100 crore in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at its Waluj factory in Aurangabad (Maharashtra). The furniture division is part of its Consumer Care and Lighting facility at Waluj and seeks to tap the high-end customers with customized, international line of modular office furniture.

“We were already into the popularend products and with this new facility, we are entering the premium-end, designer modular furniture for offices. We will be targeting the IT, ITeS, telecom and business-to-business segment for our growth. Unlike other players in this segment (who also export to the US and European markets), we are focused on providing international quality, designer products to our clients in the Indian market,” says Parag Kulkarni, vice-president and head of Wipro Furniture.

Kulkarni says their latest product line uses steel, aluminum, and MDF (medium-density fiber) with powder coating technology from Germany and that the nano-ceramic rust inhibiting coating is completely eco-friendly.

The latest USP of Wipro is ‘Startline’, a signature product, designed by Tim Wallace, a London-based furniture designer who spent two years surveying the Indian market and interacting with various end users.

“The Indian market is very exciting and people here are open to ideas. Most of the top-end executives have worked in the US and European institutions and are willing to borrow and even innovate on the products. But, in India, designing office furniture is a big challenge owing to the climactic considerations, and the market is very dynamic. I use a very high proportion of recyclable material with steel, aluminum and polymers as base material — and 30% of these are recycled material! Startline is targeted specifically at the Indian market. All the furniture products are modular and can be open-bench, panel based, or configured for personal cabin use — and, they can be easily swapped and reconfigured across these categories, and also upgraded to meet the evolving needs,” says Tim. A product of Royal College of Art, Tim has been into furniture designing for nearly 30 years, with his clients spread across the UK, Europe, and the US.
