FIREFLY - OUTDOOR LANTERN

OUTDOOR

MILESTONES:

Brief - portable, charging, ip rated, fabric integration for softer feel. DK confirmed wants plug in charging.

Tested base light vs column light- preference for base light but need to prove that taller 750mm range expansion will be possible down the track, using 3D print and higher lumens.

Worked through construction solutions for assemblability - will model awaiting Coffey’s responses and quotation estimates.

date DK meeting confirm charging near house rather than in garden space. Plug in charger.

Wifi compatibility decided due lower cost, as well as fixed on/off switch with Pallino operation capabilities.

Mina made a document with the pros and cons of KING App v white label app. Will show DK and get his opinion on whether to push forward.

Received costs and tooling timelines for current design from INFINITELUX

Meeting with DK and Michele today to review tooling costs, BOMs and lead times

TO DO:

Review sample parts received from INFINITELUX. Complete any production documentation to confirm our specifications

TO DO:
Have relayed sample reviews and next round of questions to

confirm our specifications

INFINITELUX, just waiting on response to confirm if tooling is required for the lens. If not we will begin tooling on the other components. (note: Coffey is currently in hospital so there has been a delay)

HELIO PENDANT

LIGHTING

MILESTONES:

DK meeting happened to review supplier complete samples. Would like Team Tarmac to develop modular version of this product.

Mina and jordan explored range plan of all modular components.

Mina developed straight universal connector to be used across modules. DK happy with solution.

DK only concern is there are too many suspension cables. When we handover the production documents with the supplier we will ask if the suspension cables can be removable if not in use.

Mina completed production documentation of modular components

Mina completed electrical specification for modular components

Concerns for this project:

  1. Weight of large configurations may be too much for some ceilings?

  2. Will we need to design and develop a configurator website?

  3. How can an electrician position all of the mounting points on the ceiling for a custom configuration?

  4. Installation on slanted ceilings?

  5. Installation around other utilities in a ceiling?

TO DO:

Share production documentation for modular components with INFINITELUX. Maybe wait until Firefly development is complete?

Injection moulding completed.

Veneering pricing underway. Veneering samples fading too fast compared to GL samples, Dylan finding out if issues. Alinta will follow up Dylan again for standards.

Bed instructions are critical. Dom will do a back up video but possibly CS can handle the video.

Packaging sent over. On hold for time being until design finalised again.

Working on extending sizing rollout after flock.

California King- not for US flock, but will be offered- GL for mattress, and other beds.

SAP preparation underway. On hold for time being until design finalised again.

Feasibility of corner has been proven, just working on producing it neatly.

Top of bed technique, needs to be decided based of Cabana best solution. 8 weeks for spring production readiness.

Inner frames- 35x20 tube was strong enough. Pins to connect the two frames together- need to test, Alinta to manage, trial this week. Alinta jump test completed- pass on to James to prove it.

Mosquito net machine sewing tension still not right, pattern will need to be checked after tension issues solved.

Frank organising new veneer sample frames x 2 (for pricing purposes)

Roof structure- redesign plan B solution underway, requires a cut out, laser welding not working, testing cold welding? Cold welding worked.

Powder coat samples has been powder coated in a satin finish but doesn’t match GL so purchasing to keep trying to match GLs over time.

Outdoor foam- James is okay for current use, James will follow up with a few long term questions with supplier.

Headrest cushion done for shoot. Also need to solve this for production. - test new attachment method concept week of 31/07

Flock:

Spoken to teams re flock components- ready to produce frames and foam week of 24/07, leaving in week of 31/07, could be pushed. Can make flock seats from 4 buns (of 10 buns) if not use indoor foam. 40 line items that aren’t sourced yet - band aid solution for flock in place for each. Sourcing pressure on Frank- know what to source for all except Bungee cord which Alinta will bring along. GL sourced components (knock-ins) Knock-ins in quotation with GL this week. 4 weeks away from airfreight minimum. Roof canopy fabric- ETA for Spanish fabric 01/08, possibly hold back canopy by 1 week if not doable to turn around in 1 week. Jigs still TBC, making flock without jigs. Discuss with DK if we put in stores without roof canopy or wait to meet roof canopy.

Steel tube feels - see if it can be moved to a better position that’s more comfortable. Consider expanded mesh- later.

    ·         Remove/No flex guards. Add extra springs (like we did on chaise) to replace them.

    ·         Needle felt will be glued all over pulmaflex and down sides of frame. @Allen GoldLion to explain in more detail. The needle felt will need extra give around pulmaflex area to allow stretching.

    ·         Remove/No Flex guards and NO extra springs. Needle felt as above.

     

    Two seater and love seat.

    INDOOR CURVE PULMAFLEX AREA: to be discussed. Options:

    A)    Get the GL supplier to supply the seat Pullmaflex pre-assembled from China

    B)    Bent wire to the shape required and buy a swaging tool and c-clips to assemble.

    • Changes after flock

      • Test removing seat dome if cover still fits well without wrinkles. On to do list

      • Testing the long flex back with the changed angle of backrest- DK likes angle and long back, need to make long back so can share current knock-ins though. - tested one making some alterations to it and then make another. Run the concept past James to ensure he doesn’t think we need to retest for strength.

    • AURA near future design development

      • Get GL to trial stretchy fabric - add gusset to tempest sample, do base for it too. - To ask DK

      • Order an extra AuraO and get them to put in the weather and assess - will put R and D sample outside.

    • Canopy add on

      • Trial DK laser cut mech idea this week - This concept works but requires a press tool for the texture and the user interface isn’t good.

      • Sample liqi’s idea - arrived tested - still hard to adjust.

      • Yuan new idea - quatre plate - going ahead with this idea

      • Fabric for canopy- same as cabana fabric. - arrived 50m

    • Canopy mech - stainless steel sample in testing, not perfect yet.

      • Get AL tube extrusion confrim

    • BOM assessment with Jane/Yanqiu as the costing has come back too high. Particularly coating, packaging, foam. Start with revised BOM and go from there. - revise after size change.

    • AL frame trial (dk request) - Jane getting cost comparison.

    • AL cost difference - 5.17% so $108rmb - sent to Dk.

    • New canopy project timeline created - to discuss with GL.

    • Awaiting Retail team to come back with if they want Canopy for quickship or not.

    • Awaiting GL to provide canopy meterage.

    • Only have 50m of canopy fabric until fabric mill reopen and able to produce.

    Super soft foam exploration

    SOFA GENERAL

    DK wants to explore using a super soft foam which is high density to replace dacron in some circumstances. Seen it at Cassina.

    The team found a foam to replace LT48, rejected because they didn’t understand the purpose of the foam, as a backup supplier. It wasn’t as good as LT48 so they rejected it. Perhaps they misunderstood the brief.

    Tanya to ask DK for more details.

    Tanya Rechberger discuss with Michele and DK re the designer and priority of DKs new sofa design. Also ask MD for foam sample from Italy if possible.
