Blum India, the global leader in premium furniture hardware, has launched the Blum Index Experience Centre on the Sardar Patel Ring Road corridor between Bhadaj and Ognaj Circle in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The new centre offers interior designers, architects and homeowners an interactive space to experience Blum’s furniture hardware in fully functional, real-world settings.

The Experience Centre was officially inaugurated by Maarten de Vries, Managing Director of Blum India and Regional Director of Blum Asia Pacific, along with local partner store owners Sanjay Ojha and Kailash Sarswat. Located along the growing Bhadaj-Ognaj corridor, the centre brings Blum’s furniture hardware solutions closer to the region’s expanding residential and commercial market.

The facility showcases several of Blum’s latest solutions, including the space-saving REVEGO pocket systems, LEGRABOX premium drawer systems, AVENTOS top lift systems and SERVO-DRIVE electric motion support systems. Visitors can experience how these solutions support flexible space planning, smooth movement and everyday functionality in kitchens and other furniture applications.

Speaking on the inauguration, Maarten de Vries said, "Expanding our interactive network into Ahmedabad is a deliberate step in Blum's growth strategy for Western India. This region is defined by steady economic momentum and a community that values structural quality. Our goal here is to bring our world of ergonomic and intuitive furniture hardware innovations closer to the local market. We are glad to work closely with our partners at the Index Blum Experience Centre, whose local expertise allows us not only to bring Austrian engineering into Ahmedabad but also to strengthen our connect and understanding of the local market here."

Store owners Sanjay Ojha and Kailash Sarswat highlighted the changing requirements of Ahmedabad homeowners and designers. "Over the last few years, we have seen a clear shift in what Ahmedabad homeowners demand for their spaces. With the residential growth along the SP Ring Road corridor, clients are moving away from standard, off-the-shelf fittings. They want smooth motion, smart space utilisation, and durability. Establishing a dedicated hub for Blum in Bhadaj addresses an important need for local designers. We built this interactive space so our industry peers can see exactly how functional furniture fittings in Ahmedabad add long-term value to a project."

The Index Blum Experience Centre is open to furniture makers, interior designers and architects looking for a hands-on understanding of Blum’s products for upcoming projects. The centre welcomes both direct walk-ins and dedicated B2B product tours, while homeowners can also visit to explore Blum’s modular hardware solutions designed for daily and long-term use.
