@Michele DiBlasio (Unlicensed) to raise with Marketing the change in timeline.

Team concerned the amount of product being pushed into Post Winter, Spring campaign is too much.

DK said no to progressing with this.

discussing with Damo 1/2/3 options with charging/light etc. This will be decided this week.

Decision made on light only, light + charge. Now just need product naming. Grant to do packaging. Testing is the priority.

DK wants light on the timber curve sectional. Do we release the curve light with the straight light. @Michele DiBlasio (Unlicensed) to find out if the curve light will be released at the same time as the straight light? ETA for Anniversary is March 2023.DK wants it to happen and released. @Mina Bassilious (Unlicensed) can help Zara with the technical components on this.

@Lauren Eskin (Unlicensed) to complete TU Prototype

Current status is determining material selection for the panels. Researching options & pricing. To discuss with DK if we should revert to the original idea.

Die cast part to be worked on, this will change the aesthetic. Start with prototype this week from TU and have Jason’s help from Thailand team. Jason said the tooling will require $$$ investment. @Tony (Unlicensed) to give critical feedback on whether this will impact the project proceeding?

Shiyang is sourcing the rope. John is sampling the back section to test at TU.

Concept being rendered now, end of the week it will be ready for DK to review. Manolo to set-up a time with Ciara (EA).

Material TBC eg fabric or bent wood.

Move to prototype and have Thailand team involved and sample at TU. Jig to be prepared for an alu metal frame. Geometry given to Thailand to see if it is feasible.

Concept being rendered now, 3 shapes in mind with 2 sizes, eg soft edge square. Ceramic for outdoor and timber for indoor. Renders will be presented with the outdoor Chairs. Sebastian Nash to be consulted for fabric selection.

Table concept is not going ahead if we are not going ahead with the die cast.

Plywood seat to be made for a physical sample.

Next week the concept will be completed. Aim of this design is to pair with the table and chairs.

Build out the range to include Barstool, Occasional Tables.

Present new design to DK. He like the shape, point he raised was marking from feet/shoes, Manolo to consider this and possibly shape the seat cushion to prevent making.

Prototype to be prepared first before DK will approve for this design to progress. Marble material cost is a concern.

Materials to be tested to understand if the design works or not.

Would like to create a new idea with curtain mesh material

Manolo to understand the correct materials to be used first before we can get started on prototyping.

Lounge Chair design direction is clear but the other SKU’s needs to be resolved due to the curves. Models to be done for review and sign-off first before it can be issued for prototyping in TU and Thailand. Sebastian will work on this over the next couple of weeks. Tanya, Tony, DK and the whole design team are behind supporting Sebastian in anyway possible during this process.

Sample quilted/colour fabric due to arrive next week.

Boucle fabric to be arranged with Sebastian in preparation for all 1977 SKU’s in development to be upholstered in the same fabric for the photoshoot.
