PROMPT 1 — Home office desk in a Joburg apartment

Calm, focused light for everyday work.

Prompt:
Create a photorealistic indoor scene of a compact South African home office corner. Place the 300mm Grey Fabric Shade fitted on a simple, slim matte-black desk lamp base at the left side of a warm kiaat wood desk. The shade is the hero and clearly visible at three-quarter angle, showing its grey woven texture and drum proportions. Surround it with a lightweight laptop, an open notebook with a pen, a small terracotta pot with a spekboom, and a ceramic mug. Behind, show a charcoal aluminium window with soft daylight filtering through a sheer off-white curtain, a cork pinboard with a couple of pinned notes, and a framed abstract print in muted clay and navy tones. Keep scale believable: the 300mm shade sits comfortably on the desk without overpowering it. Keep cables discreet and natural along the desk edge. Use the uploaded product image as the exact reference.
The product must appear identical to the uploaded image, including shape, proportions, materials, finishes, colours, light source appearance, mounting method, cable or cord details, and number of units where applicable.
