JAMMU: Interio, one of India's leading furniture brands under the Godrej Enterprises Group, has launched its latest innovation in workspace furniture - the Pep-Up Café Table Range. This new category of furniture combines functionality, style and ergonomic comfort to transform informal collaboration zones in modern offices. 

Designed to meet the evolving needs of India’s diverse workplaces, Pep-Up offers a vibrant mix of forms, colors and finishes ideal for breakout zones, office cafés, lounge areas and meeting corners. Available in three contemporary understructures - Pod, Rod and 4-Leg Tables, the range is built to support the dynamic and collaborative nature of today's work culture.

Commenting on this innovative concept, Sameer Joshi, Sr. Vice President and Head of B2B Business, Interio said, “t Interio, we create products that take a human-centered approach and offer flexible space solutions for workspaces. Pep-Up is more than a table—it's a social enabler. It brings employees together, encourages creative interactions, and creates vibrant corners where ideas thrive. With these new offerings, we aim to blur the lines between work and leisure zones by offering furniture that's flexible, durable and expressive. Godrej Interio's institutional furniture business is expected to grow by 19% by FY27 and we plan to introduce over 45 new SKUs in the institutional furniture segment over the next two years.”

The modern Indian workplace has changed significantly, driven by technological advances, modern workspace design and new office setups. Corporate cafeterias have evolved from simple convenience facilities to important tools for improving employee satisfaction and productivity. They are no longer just places to grab a quick meal but have become central to building a sense of community and well-being among employees. These spaces encourage networking and collaboration in a relaxed setting, where ideas can flow freely over a cup of coffee or during a shared lunch break. The casual atmosphere of a cafeteria creates meaningful conversations and knowledge exchange, ultimately improving the creative and innovative environment.

The Pep-Up range supports flexible interior layouts through three distinct understructure designs - Pod, Rod and 4-Leg—available in square, round and rectangular shapes with regular and high table height options. This versatility accommodates dining zones, breakout areas, one-on-one discussions and waiting lounges across different floor plans and workplace cultures. Available in multiple color and material combinations with solid and wood grain finishes, the tables integrate seamlessly into modern Indian office aesthetics while delivering premium quality and tech-integrated flexibility that enhances contemporary workplace lifestyles.
