MUMBAI: Transteel, has teamed up with Tata Steel to introduce graphene-enhanced jute and cotton fabrics to India’s commercial furniture landscape. This cutting-edge upholstery material, designed to boost durability and wellness, supports a circular economy model and significantly reduces reliance on plastics.

Unveiled earlier this year at FM and CRE World Hyderabad and CE Worldwide, the collaboration showcased Transteel’s new bio chairs collection, upholstered in Tata Steel’s advanced graphene-treated natural fibres. As event sponsor, Transteel highlighted its vision of eco-conscious design that doesn’t compromise on performance.

Bio chairs incorporate Tata Steel’s proprietary Graphene ink technology, enhancing the strength, water and stain resistance, and antibacterial qualities of natural fabrics. By integrating these materials, Transteel underlines its commitment to ergonomic comfort, quality craftsmanship, and environmental stewardship.

“At Transteel, we are committed to designing workspaces that are both functional and sustainable. The introduction of Graphene enriched jute and cotton fabrics in our bio chair collection allows us to offer high-performance office seating solutions that support environmental responsibility while maintaining the highest standards of comfort and durability,” said, Transteel managing director Shiraz Ibrahim.

Targeted at corporate and commercial spaces, the bio chairs offer a durable and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic upholstery. As the go-to-market partner for upholstery-grade graphene, Transteel is currently in talks with Tata Steel for a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) agreement signalling a long-term alignment on sustainability goals.

The partnership exemplifies both companies’ shared mission to reduce plastic use, support farm-to-business sourcing, and champion circular economy practices in the office furniture industry.
