Designing a table lamp inspired by  Vietnamese “áo dài” and “nón lá” with @Envato (https://contra.com/company/envato) at the centre of my workflow. Starting from a black-and-white sketch, I built the lamp's ceramic base and rice-paper shade using Envato's AI toolkit, tagging reference materials directly so AI wasn't guessing at textures it can't always read from an image alone. AI was great at generating options. It was not great at knowing which option was right; I rejected a full batch that technically worked but lost the silhouette I actually wanted, and hand-retouched a detail (the finial) that AI kept leaving unfinished. The bigger call AI couldn't make: timing this launch to back-to-school season in Vietnam, when áo dài comes back out. That's not a style choice; it's a commercial one. See the full process and the part AI couldn't do in the VIDEO below. 👇 #envatochallenge @envato
