For this project, I was assigned to think of new products we could introduce for 2019 new outdoor garden furniture rope sets. With no knowledge of product design, I was guided by my director to think of new product range sets we could sell for the 2019 catalogue.
As a person who works in both Design and Sales departments, I decided to redesign our best selling Nottingham outdoor furniture set, which was originally made out of rattan. The idea was inspired by featureDECO's expanding outdoor Edinburgh rope set.
The idea came to mind when I noticed that during our showroom opening I noticed that featureDECO's customers are interested in the highback option but the majority want to have a modern look of the rope finish from the Edinburgh rope set. As a result, I asked my director if this can be done and has offered that I can design the product and show it as a proposal for our next meeting.
As soon as the idea was approved he guided and corrected some of the details, which were then sent to featureDECO's manufacturer overseas to start the production run.
