@Mina Bassilious (Unlicensed) @Jordan Ruchalski (Unlicensed) | PALLINO PORTABLE | LIGHTING | ongoing | Tarmac will start prototyping new anodised colour options slowly. Colours driven by Michele. Stock will be late, should be confirmed how long the lead time before sale period starts. Tarmac will let Michele know all stock lead times prior to sale start in order for showroom communication. Spare parts- Mina will look into it and compare to other products ask Yoshi. Then enter spare part items into SAP. Push Yoshi on this. No stock in GL, should be 35 days (original 45 day lead time) from manufacturing completion. Mina is trying to get confirmation on lead time for this production so that we can update Kitty on production lead time before start of new sale- Not launching product until stock arrives, planned for June/early July at this stage. This will impact the lead time. | 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.

@Mina Bassilious (Unlicensed) @Jordan Ruchalski (Unlicensed) | AURA PENDANT | LIGHTING | ongoing | Final samples arrived in TU. Product development 100% complete. Package design completed. Follow up with Coffey. Testing the operation mech, 5000 cycles usability. Put this information in product info sheets. Whole product warranty Mina check that it fits in with current warranty pendant system in King range. Mina will contact Coffey about whether they can commit to 2 years warranty for Aura as they do for Lume light. Name update! Sarah Joyce suggested Faro- @Jordan Ruchalski (Unlicensed) to check with Sarah how to check with DK approval and send to him. Production cannot start until this is sorted out due to the customer facing packaging with name on it. @Mina Bassilious (Unlicensed) will chase up with Coffey on packaging readiness apart from name. Aura plug in light create a new master item in system to make the future process simpler. Mina will communicate with Hussain on wiki updates once name confirmed and the process we will follow with timings. Will airfreight stock for Winter sale release, should place purchase order this week. Mina will ask Michele to work out how many stock pieces and to work together with Yoshi for purchase order. No reply this week- will follow up. Faro name - in conversation with legal team. Make decision 23/05 if we do a new master item for Faro. | WINTER- air freight for flock would be required- and stock for immediate release? | Jun 15 | Production week 26th March | Ideation prototyping design review supplier handover sampling Customer/showroom documentation | GREEN |

@Mina Bassilious (Unlicensed) | ELEVATE | HOME-OFF | ongoing | Sample completed in GL (missing under desk storage components). Cecco top sample received. Awaiting rest of product costing from GL. Consider sending Elevate top to new solid timber suppliers. Xiangu sample also completed, awaiting costings from Xiangyu and JiaShun. @Tanya Rechberger Tanya to discuss with Shiyang re project management resource for desks. Aesthetic design in solidworks for the leg sleeve is done, Mina will render the timber/black versions for us to assess. | SUMMER- delayed by DK | Sept 14 | early July | Ideation prototyping design review supplier handover sampling | RED |

@Mina Bassilious (Unlicensed) | 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. Still no lead time info. Only black 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. Still not shot. Package design done- in sampling with supplier- @Mina Bassilious (Unlicensed) Approved packaging. 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 - this will cost $300K, Dylan need to discuss with SLT. Coffey also possibly has an option but with King App is preference. DK has requested that we don’t do the expensive option, possibly a King Lighting App only which is managed by someone else. Mina and Jordan should start discussions with Infinite luxe and research other companies for price/feature comparisons to ensure we know what we’re talking about with Coffey. @Mina Bassilious (Unlicensed) will speak to Dylan about white label apps that we can possibly rebrand as well. Then we can go back to DK with 3 options, no brand, rebrand and Ingenuity. In terms of production readiness for flock is very much PO dependent. Mina will push Yoshi to send purchase order once design is finalised. Costings arrived, send to Michele, but still awaiting tooling so won’t chase pricing team just yet. | WINTER- even with airfreight will be late due to production lead time. Product sample not completed yet. Push to Post Winter or beyond. Mina to confirm. | - | - | Ideation prototyping design review supplier handover sampling | RED |

@Mina Bassilious (Unlicensed) | HELIO PENDANT | LIGHTING | ongoing | DK meeting happened, a lot of feedback from DK which has changed the course and brief. Weight is important (consider plastic or reduce alu material). Mechanical vertical movement mech remote operation direction now (single ceiling point), Jordan will start the conversation with Coffey. App integration is dumbed down for cost purposes- see above (Solaire). @jordan will did some work on the modular version to explain to DK the number of wires visible and complexity of electrician set up. Will render one version and send to DK. Idea is individual pendants that magnetise together but are powered separately (electrician joins in ceiling to use one switch on the wall). Need an end cap. | DELAYED |

@Mina Bassilious (Unlicensed) | ETO DESK V2.0 | HOME-OFF | ongoing | Timber accessories all samples complete. Handful of adjustments with the team, Mina managing in a document. TF discussion happened- he’s open to updates, with no1 request being solid timber top. Preferencing new top style. All is resting on pricing for the time being, if solid top can be accommodated then production almost ready. If veneer then will need resampling. Need pricing feedback first. Aluminium charger ring, Mina is CNCing down to try and show production team that iit should be possible to achieve Toms dream.

@Alinta Lim @dominic.harrison | ADELAIDE | BEDROOM |
| 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 completed, whole frame feasibility expected Tuesday 16/05. 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. Mosquito net sample arrived Monday Afternoon. Was cut too small so doesn’t fit well. Can be resolved at a later point though. Need to sort out the shelf system (likely riveted on) as the laser cutter can’t manage the extrusion with shelf.

@Alinta Lim @dominic.harrison | CABANA | OUTDOOR |
| Roof structure- redesigned- run past DK this week. Sun lounge frame for GL - this week do CAD or otherwise to send to Shiyang. Cabana seat cushion reticulated seat with mesh cover (no glue) completed. DK liked it. Mesh cover seems a success so far. Hot glue to provide extra strength to hold. - costing before end of the week. Possibly high costs in the mesh, hot glue only is the back up plan but harder for the factory. Powder coat samples arrived into TH. Gloss level wrong, ask Nan to take middle sample from GL (varying GL versions) get supplier to match. Knock-ins will be tooled in China- Alinta follow up Travel- both China and Thailand. Alinta to talk to Shiyang and try to get a realistic answer. Speak to DK Frank 22/05 to go over the frame. Alinta still not receiving daily updates. Extra design considerations, not looking at yet:

Flock- 60 seats white frames completed which all need updates for magic joiners. Single seat is completed. All white frames of corner/seat/chaise are signed off apart from magic joiner. The covers are not yet signed off. Magic joiner solution for flock is removing dacron- Sebastian to work out the magic joiners for each size from golden samples eta Monday 5th June. Possible gen 2 solution is attaching angle section or tube to smaller frames, or consider crushing tube on the larger frames to allow matching Joiner to all module types. Working on product range expansion. White frame of chaise with arm due 3rd May. Urgently working on Accordian style seat first.

@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 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. |

@Pearson Bulmer (Unlicensed) @Ryan McGoldrick | HEIRLOOM CHR | DINING |
| Flock had major issues, outlined in spreadsheet in discussions with Thailand. If 8 more chairs are made for OP, use as this as the QC update guideline. R & P will follow up with Thailand. Need to get up to date CAD out of Thailand- with new June. Leg veneering exploring China and set up QC for GL team to check before shipping. Plastic injection moulding for legs underway- due in GL 7th May, 2 weeks for veneering. Due in Thailand 29th May. Issues with the chair changes, need to communicate with Wichai about whether anything needs updating, only one version trialed and not completed as per expectation Thursday evening last week. First production week in TH at the latest 2325- June 12th. 3D printed rear legs will go on for tests today. Managing DKs updates okay from what Ponti can tell. DK has said to send all veneered legs to Thailand. Keep tabs on Wichai’s progress. Email sent to Frank/Joseph asking about upcoming orders and lead times required. They are aware but limited feedback from them. Urgent- Test the off tool air freight sample on the completed frame to know if the leg is suitable for new chair updates. | AUTUMN | Mar 23 | Feb Qty: 26 | RED |

| GL Making sample now. Working on multiple avenues at the moment, custom supplier parts and in house version. Working to tight timeline as updated by Team Ponti here 2023 PROJECT CALANDER Ryan&Pearson.xlsx Once we decide on final custom mech, place order for Mechanisms. Would need to place our order by the end of next week. DK signed off on 90 degree timber veneer and on table mechanisms. Ponti will follow up with Ivy whether the factory will have all required parts and components on hand the moment that the prototype is signed off. Will also ask Ivy if there is any way to speed up the prototype and production. Had some supplier hiccups on timeline issues currently looking at 3-4 weeks late for UK, CA- 2-3 weeks late, VicQld 1-2 weeks late. Will assess again closer to the and do our best to claw time back. Prototype time 6.5 weeks once quotation approved, quotation approved, approx $1000 higher than the fixed table. UZ have received all steel and mechanism parts for starting the first prototype, and sending a PI today which GL will process by Thursday. UZ start prototype this week. Leo/Frank and Sheng will probably go down next week to help brief UZ home next week. Ryan/Pearson will work with UZ home to ensure that they are trying to find all questions prior to their arrival. Starting on motor addition. Latest quotes from UZ home for manual extension table are walnut $2885AUD and $2317.20AUD for Congo/Smoked oak. | POST SPRING | 4th November | 13th August | AMBER |
