LIGHTING

ongoing

Tarmac will start prototyping new anodised colour options slowly. 2 x colours picked out- she will reach out to anodising supplier to help figure out how to specify then get samples in to TU.

Stock will be late, should be confirmed how long the lead time before sale period starts. Coffey has promised to ship to GL during 2328 however will not update customers until conversation of arrival in GL.

Spare parts- Mina is awaiting costings from Coffey, packaging complete- once costings come in and SPN confirmed by GL, Hussain will help get them into SAP.

FARO PENDANT

LIGHTING

ongoing

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

Aura sofa accessory - needs a name update, Michele is working on it as Faro might be problematic.

Michele working on PO, customer purchase has already started. Still delayed, need to push this.

Decided to go with lead time storing in GL. Mina requested invoice for the PO from Coffey, once we pay they can start production.

NAME UPDATE awaiting on Michele, production hasn’t begun. Need a PO update, but production pieces of packaging haven’t been printed yet which allows a name update.

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

ELEVATE

HOME-OFF

ongoing

Sample for Elevate is on it’s way to TU.

Cecco top sample received. Awaiting rest of product costing from GL. Xiangu leg sample also completed, awaiting costings from Xiangyu and JiaShun.

Consider sending Elevate top to new solid timber suppliers. Underway with Eto as a comparison. 10% increase approx. on cheaper timbers, 17% saving on AmWl.

Aesthetic design in solidworks for the leg sleeve is done, Mina 3D printed a leg sleeve, will install once sample arrives in TU.

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.

Costing is with Michele (still haven’t heard back), expect Coffey to complete Sample by 23/06- DIDN’T ARRIVE

Not suitable to add lighting 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 $200K, 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.

Spoke to Coffey re other app options, he had ideas and companies suggested, awaiting info from Coffey to email (still awaiting). 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 once we get feedback from pricing.

Costings arrived, sent to Michele, but still awaiting tooling (new off tool parts) but will let Michele/Damo know about initial costings. Haven’t heard back from Michele regarding this 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.

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- put aside until gap in firefly timeline.

Timber accessories all samples complete. On a boat to TU.

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. - New suppliers have come back with pricing approx 10% increase . on cheaper timbers, 17% saving on AmWl.

Aluminium charger ring, feedback to supplier has been completed- no issues from supplier and Tom is happy. Samples in TU. Mina will rebuild on the new sample and then show TF again.

DIRECTORS CHAIR

OUTDOOR

Documentation shared to Shiyang, tooling and BOM cost due from Shiyang 23/06. Cross brace costed in stainless and Aluminium.

BOM prelim arrived: missing some items need more info but looking close to 335RMB already. Awaiting GL feedback for more detail. Will ask if they have ideas on where to make savings.

Investigating in house production, Miao has responded on Mandrel bending machinery, Mina to get back to him enquiring on more machinery that would be involved for this to become a product in GL.

Sling cover sample 1 completed. Highlighted comfort issues in frame form. Zipper was used need to test strength, also fabric stretched. Highlighting that we need stronger batylene, or layer up with stronger fabrics quilted.

Plan to go to prototype tooling ASAP (after 1 month extrusion tooling ready). This then needs to tested in press tools, with aluminium bounce back would expect issues, but minimal 2 weeks for tweaking. This is with press tool starting at same time as extrusion tooling.

Lounge chair solidworks completed and sent to Shiyang to sample after normal chair.

Even minimising the sling cover prototyping time (1 week) we are in early September for production start. Even if we start tooling after quoting immediately, we are still mid July for off tool components.

Need to work out using off tool components all the small mechs at this point as well.

Even if we buy off the shelf extrusion, we need to make 4 weeks for press tool + 2 weeks for tweaking.

Mina not interested in weeks of workshop time to make the photoshoot items which will not be useful for product release and will slow that down.

A little bit of downtime while awaiting tooling completion.

Cheap mesh sample- Mina is currently testing the mesh with 150kg to test if stretch and seams are suitable.

Need to raise CAPEXs for extra toolings such as mandrel bending, injection mouldings and confirm that the extrusion tool was two tools, and the two correct latest files.

Mina modelled counter and Bar heights for form, will show DK and get his opinion before considering if he starts to resolve footrest yet or wait. DK didn’t provide feedback on when to start working on bar stool, just some feedback on the footrest concept, Mina has developed an idea, will tweak slightly and run concept past DK.

FIREFLY- outdoor lantern

OUTDOOR

Brief - portable, charging, ip rated, fabric integration for softer feel. Concept stage- conversation with Tanya once prototypes are completed.

Brief update permanent outdoor version, so needs higher IP rating. DK confirmed wants plug in charging.

Coffey has a lot of experience with outdoor lights, will get back to Jordan with feedback to his questions, will ring him if no response by end of day 03/07. If still no update then will start the engineering design himself and ask Coffey to improve it.

For shoot- 1 lamp promised, up to 4 if possible. LEDs arrived, look good.

DK meeting confirm 31/05- charging near house rather than in garden space. Plug in charger.

Start with smooth finish consider adding ribs/texture down the line. Make the shapes more mix and match between the sizes (squat and elongated).

Upmarket sound solution to incorporate in (ask Coffey). Wifi compatibility decided due lower cost, as well as fixed on/off switch possibly with Pallino operation capabilities.

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 $200K, 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.

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.

@Alinta Lim will check with James P. about whether the TH outdoor foam is suitable. In progress- Gam couldn’t get all of the details as requested, Alinta to follow up James. for handover to purchasing. So far James is confident with flock production, James will follow follow up with a few long term questions with supplier.

Knock-ins will be tooled in China- Shiyang is okay on that. 2 of 3 confirmed and approved by Alinta. 3rd one is the roof cap. Photography will be 3D print.

Outer Frame design solved just production of frame, to be solved which has lot to do, Alinta involved in following up.

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.

DK signed off on 90 degree timber veneer and on table mechanisms.

Shengsheng sample is quite good- but Ryan is awaiting more detailed feedback in the report before we can commit to the product for flock. Expect back 4/07.

Had some supplier (UZ) 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.

UZ a bit disappointing but Shengshen is promising so far. The timber work is decent.

Motor addition has been put on hold, working on gas pop up lift sample. Ryan to work on the concept alongside Shen for fastest solution to be found. Shen working on samples, waiting 15 days for the telescopic gas strut option. Keep the table samples underway in the meantime due in 12-17/07. Need to look at the latch concept for the pop up catch concept.

Plan A for pop up- is telescopic gas strut (prefernce).

Plan B- linkage arms together with a normal gas strut.

Plan C- spiral spring concept.

Latest quotes from UZ home for manual extension table are walnut $2974 AUD and $2345 AUD for Congo/Smoked oak. Shangsheng is approx. $400 cheaper for walnut version.

In GL- installation of mechanism - Ryan will start Shiyang on this. Ryan will speak to Shiyang about the learnings from the assembly of the Shengshen sample. Need BOM of the metal parts for internal and external production.

Leg sample- all timber suppliers only want to make in solid timber (not plywood), Ryan will enquire about MDF veneered with steel through the leg. Quote comparison for veneered solid timber awaiting to compare against Shengshen price breakdown once received.

Yabo sample is underway, DK has approved with improvements to the seat inlay. GL to send a steel seat frame to Yabo.

Plan to have a seat insert manufactured in GL and assembled in Customers home. +/- 3mm tolerance on the chairs is achievable which will assist in this process. Aware it’s very risky and will be putting a lot of work into minimising risk in order to get max benefit.

LIGHT TIMBER COLOUR OPTION/ Master stain update

Trying to create King master colours across the board, as well as new lighter colour.

Pearson has ideas on using Ash instead of Red Oak across the board, it’s cheaper and more durable. Pearson will speak to GL team to get some sampling moving along. Cecco is remaking some samples, Oil based was used instead of water based, so needed to redo. Fingers crossed it will be faster this time (not 6 weeks like last time). Only Cecco currently looking at light timber option as they are our main solid timber supplier and they use the best water based finished.

Veneer sample master underway with one supplier currently. Pearson will follow up. GL purchasing team assisting with this to try to bring all finishes into line together to match colours better.

UZ samples underway to ensure timber finishes from them match.

NEW SOFT FLEX ARM SOFA

@Tanya Rechberger to call DK and confirm the project kick off with Ryan and Pearson, Pearson holiday starts next week.
