Sample completed in GL (missing under desk storage components).

Sample was great, but need to speak to mech supplier on the height minimisation (critical).

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.

LUNA OCCASIONAL INDOOR CHAIR UPDATE

OCCASIONAL

Charles wants to update the comfort of the inside of the occasional chair, DK has approved the process start. Trying to get Charles to manage the prototyping process.

@Tanya Rechberger

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 back up supplier. It wasn’t as good as LT48 so they rejected it. Perhaps they misunderstood the brief.

Tanya to ask DK for more details.
