FLOCK on the water, arrive by Post Autumn

Purchase order split into 4 sections, next 3 orders can have colour changes based on market feedback.

Tarmac will start prototyping new anodised colour options slowly. Colours driven by Michele.

Longer lead time stores will be late. - Mina will update leadtime with Kitty and Michele once order has been placed to ensure staff and customers are aware of the delay.

AURA PENDANT

LIGHTING

ongoing

Final samples arrived in TU. Product development 100% complete.

Package design sent to Coffey, expectation 1-2 weeks until sample ready to send for review.

Supplier has only our old Natural Oak colour and will send sample. Michele to assess, but it’s not great.

Deep etched ready, team check wiring and start on Customer/showroom documentation.

Testing the operation mech, Tarmac will ask Coffey on usability/lifecycle rating and if testing has been done. Also will discuss with Engineering, and do we have a warranty? If warnings on use need to work this out before packaging graphics.

Costings received, awaiting Damien’s feedback. Will push him

Will need to speak to Michele re lighting introduction process. Underway

WINTER- air freight for flock would be required- and stock for immediate release?

1st batch of FLOCK on track for target date. 2 per store.

Website/documentation complete. Pricing is underway, no tooling involved so if pricing is too high for customers, negligible loss.

SOLAIR ALU POCKET Accessory (with shade/turn dial shape)

ACCESSORY

ongoing

Samples received from supplier for review - review sent and feedback received, they will implement updates, new sample underway.

Only black only is suitable for deep etch as silver is unlikely to be ready in time. Deep etch team can manage with this as long as they have a silver swatch to use for photoshop.

Package design done- in sampling with supplier. 1 weeks.

Not suitable to add light colour update at this late stage. Looking to see if the supplier has an option to change from ‘cool to warm’ light and can’t implement possibly integrate with Home Automation Systems (speak with Tony on DNC on Cloud)

Lead time on new sample with CNC’d parts - approved concept awaiting sample.

In terms of production readiness for flock is very much PO dependent. Mina will push Yoshi to send purchase order once design is finalised.

WINTER- airfreight would be required. Product not completed yet.

HELIO PENDANT

LIGHTING

ongoing

Waiting on complete sample to sent to TU, this is currently held up by the mechanism R&D in China. Tarmac will assess the light components when in China. New risk- the raising mechanism needs to be designed by Infinite Lux- costing is high $17800 and no timeline yet. Tarmac will try to cover all bases to find another way of achieving this and we are concerned about warranty's and competing mechs in the product.

Deep Etch /lifestyle shoot has been scheduled. Tarmac will check with Michele to explain that the shoot must be moved.

CGI is potentially an option but Kirsty to confirm - not required at this stage.

Consider for Good design awards entry- risk of adjustable height mech not being completed on time. Can consider for late entry but again we are concerned. 21st April is very soon.

WINTER- airfreight required for flock most likely.

LUNA MESH BARSTOOL & COUNTER STOOL

OUTDOOR

BAR STOOL: Sample reviewed by CW.

The tooling done on the stool is incorrect, this needs to be addressed with GL & fabricator. A whole new seat form has been developed with updates- prototyping request with soft tool (limited use). Find out info on pricing and timing of soft tool- Mina.

COUNTER STOOL: Mina has complete engineering DWG. Seat pad needs to be re-considered- after sample off soft tool comes back successful. Hoping for product to review on Tarmac’s arrival in GL.

Timing issues, getting closer to missing flock date if GL doesn’t apply some resources to this range. Mina will remind the team this week so they can be more likely to see sample on GL trip.

Assess stools in China.

Injection moulding (family tooling) due 2314 production week.

Veneering pricing underway. Veneering samples fading too fast compared to GL samples, Alinta to find out GL finishes and TH finishes and find difference to improve TH.- on list

Pricing is too high for veneering, Alinta looking into GL veneering and powder coating.

GL prototyped bed base, GL sending physical samples and patterns to TH- on route to Thailand.

Allan done on Adelaide bed. Patterns shipped over.

Bed instructions are critical.

Packaging sent over.

Thailand trips booked, will review pre flock trip for Dom if Thailand not ready. Alinta will travel for Flock.

Knock-ins will be tooled in China, Jason approved.

Mosquito net fabric comes from GL, what processes are required to get it entered and fabric sent to TH? Alinta will meet with Yoshi and speak to Ji re BOM labour etc.

HERITAGE FIX TBL

DINING

FLOCK underway. AW and AO timber sourced. Colour staining to be redone with GL QC present. Balance of FLOCK to be done by Cecco ETA June/July.

Cecco has updated the sample due 10th March not even be 1800mm, but smaller. Will have to await the

XMB sample- Edge treatment is not the waterfall end as designers wanted, but we can still make the tables like, DK won’t mind. Photography is different though and possibly upcoming other suppliers table. Legs all look different and not followed the drawings. Hand sanded finishes it looks. Second time sample hasn’t been to drawing. Thicker veneer top which is likely to crack with heat.

Rework from XMB was not up to standard, the factory is unlikely to be able to produce these tables.
