Hettich Unveils Smart Interior Solutions At Indiawood 2026
At Indiawood 2026, one of South Asia’s largest woodworking and interior design platforms, German fittings manufacturer Hettich has set out a compelling vision for how furniture hardware and modular systems could reshape living and workspace environments in India, emphasising adaptive design, efficiency and spatial flexibility. The company’s showcase comes as demand grows for intelligent, human-centred interior solutions in urban housing and commercial interiors.
Indiawood — running through early March at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre — gathers manufacturers, designers, developers and architects around innovations in furniture tech, materials and digital tools shaping modern interiors. Hettich’s participation under the theme “Transforming Spaces through Magical Motion” reflects a broader shift: from static built environments toward dynamic, multifunctional spatial systems that give occupants greater control and usability.Central to Hettich’s presentation is its SpinLines family — a suite of hardware solutions that enable turning, swivelling and transformable furniture layouts. A standout is the Roomspin for Work system, which re-imagines conventional office cubicles as interactive, collaborative suites through rotating modules, highlighting how flexible design can support hybrid work patterns and more efficient space use in dense urban workplaces.
Urban planners and designers often emphasise that interior flexibility is no longer a novelty but a necessity in metropolitan regions where residential units and offices face constraints of space and function. “Homes and workspaces built today need to serve many modes of living and working,” noted an independent design consultant. “Hardware systems that can shift with occupants’ needs are essential to resilient, people-centred environments.”Alongside large-scale transformable systems, Hettich’s Indiawood exhibit also features advanced modular elements such as table extension systems, air-assisted hinges, luxury linear drawers, digital locks, and tailored kitchen accessories — each engineered to blend functional excellence with refined aesthetics. These innovations align with evolving consumer expectations in India’s premium housing markets, where buyers increasingly prioritise design intelligence and long-term adaptability.
The focus on adaptable hardware reflects deeper industry trends. In residential interiors, multifunctional design can support micro-living and densifying cities by enhancing utility without expanding built footprints. In commercial contexts, flexibility underpins collaborative zones, dynamic workstations and reconfigurable meeting spaces that respond to shifting organisational needs. Designers also increasingly integrate such systems into net-zero and wellness-oriented strategies, enhancing comfort, reducing waste and prolonging asset life.For Hettich — a 138-year-old German engineering brand with a significant legacy in furniture fittings — Indiawood 2026 is also symbolic of 25 years in the Indian market, where it has established leadership in precision hardware. According to company leaders, the exhibition is designed to underscore the balance between technical innovation and human experience, aiming to make everyday interiors more responsive, efficient and elegant.
As India’s cities continue to densify and living-work patterns evolve, hardware innovations showcased at trade platforms like Indiawood could become influential in how homes and workplaces are designed, bought and used — reinforcing the role of adaptive interiors in future-ready urban environments.
