Designing a new glue for the furniture industry together with an innovative application system.
SA 42799(2015/X) The planned design project will consist of designing a new line of adhesives for furniture. The new adhesive formula will be developed by the Applicant’s R & D team, and as part of external services, a system of innovative applicators and a visual communication system will be designed. The design process will consist of the following phases: 1) Diagnosis – the pre-submission phase, preceded by an initial audit of the company in terms of the company’s previous activities and its technical, human and financial resources, as well as an analysis of the market environment. The result of the Diagnosis confirms that CX80 has a great potential to implement a design project in terms of designing a new line of adhesives and dedicated applicators. 2) Synthesis and analysis – defining the strategy for further actions necessary to develop a new design project, including the preparation of the assumptions for the project brief and the definition of project directions. Design Brief will set out design assumptions and guidelines for the new product and its packaging. 3) Develop designs and prototypes of the new product and carry out the necessary tests, including designing a spray head packed in aerosol cans, a system of interchangeable tool tips for precise application – brushes and brushes, needles, tubes, mouthpieces, spatula, etc., and an applicator for small packaging. 4) Consulting services related to the implementation of the new product – development of a visual communication system for the new product line together with the preparation of the brand manual, promotional and information materials, promoting the developed innovative solutions. After completion of the design process, in order to implement a new line of adhesives, an initial investment in fixed assets such as a set of moulds for the production of innovative applicators developed in Phase 3 will be realised.
