PALLINO PORTABLE

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.

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. So CS only wants 15 pcs- Mina will ask for 50pcs - this is same cost as 100pcs, so will go with 50, just awaiting packaging confirmation. Packaging sampled approved - at invoice stage, Mina will update Frank GL.

LIGHTING

ongoing

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

Aura sofa accessory - Name update is SPIA.

Decided to go with lead time storing in GL.

Currently removed from sale until name update is finalised and stock comes in (Mina’s current understanding). Still in manufacturing stage.

PO still not paid- but GL has promised a “time” (Frank managing this now) so Coffey has started production.

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

ELEVATE

HOME-OFF

ongoing

Sample for Elevate is here with Cecco top. Some tolerances can be improved- Mina will update to the team in GL.

Cecco top sample received. Awaiting rest of product costing from GL. Xiangu leg sample also completed, costings from Xiangyu arrived and sent to Pricing team. No negative feedback from pricing yet.

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. Veneer for top is DKs preference.

Go ahead with leg sleeve concept and cable hidden in leg.

Add Zetr gpo option to desk. ($40K worth of stock sitting in GL.)

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.

Expect Coffey to complete Sample by 23/06- DIDN’T ARRIVE- delayed due to off tool (injection) failing, going through update process.

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. APP UPDATES under FIREFLY PROJECT.

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. Still awaiting pricing team and feedback of off tool samples with final finishes (video of raw off tool parts has been seen).

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. Mina has done some work on how to configure packages, and it’s difficult to offer limitless options. (Weight and installation issues, wiring switch issues) Consider working with an electrical team, configurator for stencil.

Mina has worked on a connector system to reduce component requirements, functions well but seems expensive. Concept of straight universal connector looks good.

ETO DESK V2.0

HOME-OFF

ongoing

Tom F came in - Tom still wants solid top, DK resistant to it and pushing for veneer, two options for offer DK thinks makes for an awkward sales process.

Consideration of removing the 2 front charging ports altogether to save money.

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.

Pricing option for plywood core 2mm veneer cam back too expensive, will provide estimate on 0.6mm veneer solution for pricing comparison.

Assembly instruction line work was generated by Mina, once the product is ready these will be turned into instructions.

Awaiting lights below.

2 CAPEXs still not approved due to product release being up in the air. Mina will remind Tanya when lead time approaches to approve these. (Go to Jason if Tanya away at this point.)

ongoing

Brief process has happened, and Mina has explored concepts. Retail at $499 in cheap fabric, BOM needs to be under $100.

When possible, Mina will do a return of brief once further along on the design process to ensure we come in under cost. Mina will enquire with team on costing estimates based on Seymour low. Have received will use to indicate BOM pricing as we go.

Next steps is to prototype seat sample, Mina try to build on CNC this week, depending on CNC working. (Massive upgrade to CNC machine that is still being worked out how to utilise correctly which could hold up the sample.)

DIRECTORS CHAIR

OUTDOOR

Documentation shared to Shiyang, tooling and BOM cost due from Shiyang updated one currently more expensive than we were hoping for. 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. Asked if they have ideas on where to make savings- they had none. Ask Dylan and Jason for ideas on cost saving.

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.

A little bit of downtime while awaiting tooling completion.

Cheap mesh sample- Mina tested 150kg for one month, no breakage, but visible stretch occurred.

All toolings underway, Aluminium arrived and sent out for bending- this is still being perfected, no solve found yet. Plastic toolings due back 14th august. With 3D prints to simulate injection moulded parts, whould be able to put together prototype over the coming weeks.

DK asked to put together a chair sample with all components even with poor bend solution to help finalise all other aspects while bending supplier solves beautiful bending solution. 3D printed parts have been breaking during assembly so team prefers to wait until off tool injection parts come in. Currently testing holes in laser cutter. Anything that can be done now they are doing to save time later.

Shiyang preparing for in factory production by looking into tube bending machines for multi products capability.

Mina modelled counter and Bar heights for form, showed DK an idea on the leg fold concept- he approves but we will wait to produce the two lower chairs first before prototyping the tall version.

Mina will share Post Spring production dates with Shiyang so he understands our time goals. He is stressed but aware.

FIREFLY- outdoor lantern

OUTDOOR

Brief - portable, charging, ip rated, fabric integration for softer feel.

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, we rely on them for engineering of product. Jordan sent model to Coffey, awaiting feedback on engineering updates required will chase Coffey on it today 31/07.

Tested base light vs column light- preference for base light but need to prove that taller 750mm range expansion will be possible down the track, using 3D print and higher lumens.

Worked through construction solutions for assemblability- will model awaiting Coffey’s responses and quotation estimates. With price estimate, go to pricing and DK to see if it’s a viable product that we go ahead with or buy an outside supplier version.

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

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.

Spoke to Coffey re other app options - there was a video and PDF, $10k USD for white label rebrand. Mina and Jordan will put together a document with the pros and cons of both app options. Will show DK and get his opinion on whether to push forward.

Testing updates on the light source location to put together information and tooling methods for Coffey to start production. Coffey meeting tomorrow, he has all information can discuss timelines, but the information isn’t available to work through yet. Tooling costs still need to be discussed with supplier (and part costs).

Indoor Directors Chair

DINING

Brief discussion was had, not beginning immediately until the outdoor is solved.

DK would like a timber element included for warmth. Need to confirm if we would cover the whole metal or just the armrest section. If using veneer, would need a stronger finish than we currently have, which we aren’t confident exists at this stage. Initial thoughts are that the thickness of finish required for durability would not let us appreciate the natural feel of timber. Is this balance that DK requested something we can achieve? Still no straight answer from DK on this.

SLEEP

Questions to be answered:

• check mattress with sheets (with and without person on it)

• create a name for mattress (describe the mattress to Michele and she can help to kick start this process, I believe)

• Create safety features (lie flat button must be held down?)

• finalise and get sign off on locating of bed frame system

• Remote upgrading process and aesthetics sign off

• consider white label app integration, discuss with DK for agreement/costs

• check over costs again

Flock:

Spoken to teams re flock components- ready to produce frames and foam week of 24/07, leaving in week of 31/07, could be pushed. Can make flock seats from 4 buns (of 10 buns) if not use indoor foam. 40 line items that aren’t sourced yet - band aid solution for flock in place for each. Sourcing pressure on Frank- know what to source for all except Bungee cord which Alinta will bring along. GL sourced components (knock-ins) Knock-ins in quotation with GL this week. 4 weeks away from airfreight minimum. Roof canopy fabric- ETA for Spanish fabric 01/08, possibly hold back canopy by 1 week if not doable to turn around in 1 week. Jigs still TBC, making flock without jigs. Discuss with DK if we put in stores without roof canopy or wait to meet roof canopy.

Steel tube feels - see if it can be moved to a better position that’s more comfortable. Consider expanded mesh- later.

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.

DINING

Production starting on the chairs has begun on customer orders.

Gam made some updates to the patterns including automotive closure. Still need to get patterns for TU and create the spare part for the J hook closure.

Requested packaging testing, awaiting feedback. Push again for ITSA test, drop tests have failed apparently but Ryan doesn’t have up to date information. Still no information provided.

Die lines of chair packaging with marketing at the moment. Still with marketing.

Ask Wichai to send a video of assembly process to gauge customer process. Still waiting.

Assembly instructions- air freight chair sample from TH for Adam to create instructions.

No update for approx one month on these requests- will ask Frank if someone else can assist.

Emailed Wichai/Frank on 24/7. Have been asking for a month with no actions.

GL Making sample now.

Working on multiple avenues at the moment, custom supplier parts and in house version. DK pushed for in house again, Shiyang has big concerns which have been communicated with DK. We will push ahead in any case and Cecco make a sample of timber components.

Working to tight timeline as updated by Team Ponti here https://kingliving.sharepoint.com/:x:/s/design/ERrvBGfzlBJDil3fCIJPd9QBZ9EaxCrbES0Z6xqW-TDYpg?e=yzS1QI

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

Shengsheng sample is quite good- Ryan has seen in person and is happy with the products finish. Ryan would like to discuss light-weighting the insert component as well (narrower border and thinner ply considerations). (Consider changing to a leather loop handle rather than strap to give more leverage to shorter people.)

Due to mechanism delays with new method, production for post spring would have had to start production this week for that.

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. Gas strut arrived, installed into table, not working as expected, test moving the mounting point of mech before considering changes to the track form. No changes have been considered for that yet.

Telescopic gas strut is not working due to mount point issues. Moving on to coil spring concept testing now (this will reduce heavy fall on closing). Coil spring requiring mount plates to be made hope to test assembled unit Thursday 27/06. Also implementing linear damper to reduce crash sound when opening. Large one functions well! Need to find a smaller one for aesthetic reasons. Testing Shen’s two arm pivot method (plan B below- 2 pivot arm method (linkage method) didn’t work as planned, abandoning for now.)

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

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

Plan C- spiral spring concept. Working on now

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. Still waiting, but as product not resolved.

Leg sample- all timber suppliers only want to make in unveneered solid timber (not plywood), Ryan will enquire about MDF veneered with steel through the leg as well as foam. Quote comparison for veneered solid timber awaiting to compare against Shengshen price breakdown once received. LeShu will sample up a veneered leg send to supplier 19/07 expect sample turnaround within a week.

Foot detail- use a removable flat plate at the bottom with a rubber component glued on top and bottom. 6mm top and bottom plate. Investigate DKs long bolt solution post flock production.

Manual version for flock- would be ready in approx 2 weeks to finalise, which would still be half way through Post Spring season unfortunately. Could do online only if we could photograph first. This might highlight any construction issues on a simpler form prior to automatic product release.

Automatic table expected to be ready for release in 2 months- Ponti will make a timeline.

Sign off on Manual Table planned for August 18th.

Rotary dampeners unlikely to be ready for Flock and VIP stock orders (closing slam prevention)

Linear dampeners (opening slam prevention) also difficult to achieve for flock and VIP stock. Will still try to make happen as best as possible.

Light weighting of the butterfly is difficult but trying. (timber removal replaced by extra steel weight which attempting to do but not so simple.

Locking handle - cheap and quick way to turnaround in 2 weeks. Finish of lever only- function is sorted. Testing plastic dip process 1/08.

Packaging crate vs Cardboard- passed onto Tony D and James/Jason to mostly handle. Designer focus elsewhere.

Compliance testing underway with James with extra sample orders.

TASMAN CHR/Magnolia chair- Name TBC

DINING

Yabo sample is almost finished, DK has approved with improvements to the seat inlay. Check in on recess for steel frame before the product ships.

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.

Yabo sample arrived good for review - try to make seat pad Tuesday 1/8 in GL.

Getting Chen up to speed on the frame and current pattern concept. Not gluing the foam to seat for now- using existing version. Will consider updates to timber frame for possible use later if the option is there.

MAGNOLIA TBL/Tasman Table - Name TBC

DINING

Yabo is sampling the Magnolia table. Sample arrived with wobble- supplier blaming steel frame. Going ahead with steel frame, as it’s a requirement for the product. Try to lightweight steel ASAP to reduce issues. This will influence leg construction.

Samples with suppliers soon. DK has approved to go ahead with suppliers (change timber horizontal to steel tube).

-Consider as an extension table down the track.

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.
