How REMAP Reimagined Content Creation for Gallery Sofas With AI-Driven Creative
Breaking into the Australian furniture market isn’t easy. Especially at the premium end, where customers expect craftsmanship, sophistication, and a brand story to match. For Gallery Sofas, a new brand of luxurious leather sofas manufactured by global furniture powerhouse HTL International, this challenge was clear from day one: how do you introduce a high-end product to a new market without the high-end production costs that traditionally come with furniture content?
Furniture brands have always lived and died by the quality of their visuals. But producing those visuals is notoriously expensive. You need the product (which is large, heavy, costly to ship, and slow to manufacture). You need a location. You need props. You need stylists, lighting technicians, videographers, and usually a small army of people to move furniture, adjust lighting, reset sets, and make sure everything looks perfect. And that’s before you’ve fed anyone. Because a full-day shoot isn’t a full-day shoot without catering.
It’s not unusual for a single day of furniture content production to run into the tens of thousands of dollars before the first photo is even taken. Multiply that by multiple sofa models, fabric variations, colours, and configurations, and you can see the challenge facing a brand trying to launch quickly in a competitive market.
This is the problem Gallery Sofas came to REMAP with. And it’s exactly the kind of challenge our team loves.
The Opportunity: Rethinking Content Production for the Furniture Industry
When Gallery Sofas entered the Australian market, HTL already had decades of global experience in design and manufacturing. What they didn’t yet have was a content pipeline suited for modern marketing realities: fast, scalable, cost-efficient, and consistent across channels.
The brand needed:
- A library of premium lifestyle images
- Multiple settings and styling approaches
- Videos and motion assets
- Creative variations for ads, social, web, and retailer support
- A way to produce content at scale without the traditional production burden
To put it simply, they needed the output of a high-budget shoot, but at the speed and efficiency of a nimble digital-first brand.
That’s where our AI-driven creative methodology came in.
Our Journey: Building a Market-Leading AI Creative Capability
REMAP didn’t wake up one morning and decide to “use AI” because it was trending. Our transition into AI-driven creative started years ago, driven by a simple question: How can we create better content, faster, for less, without compromising on strategy or quality?
The answer wasn’t a single tool or platform. It was an entire ecosystem: a suite of programs, workflows, and refinement processes stitched together and driven by people with a deep creative background.
As our capabilities evolved, we built a dedicated in-house team of full-time prompt engineers. People who didn’t just know how to push buttons in an AI tool, but who understood what “great content” looks like, why it works, and how it connects back to business goals.
That combination became our unfair advantage.
To produce top-tier AI content, you need three things:
- Vision, understanding, and strategy
Tools don’t define the outcome; your strategy does. Our creative direction begins with brand understanding: audience, positioning, tone, and visual identity. AI doesn’t replace that. It amplifies it.
- The technology
And importantly, it’s not one piece of technology. It’s a customised pipeline of platforms working together: AI image generation, video generation, model training, environment creation, lighting simulations, colour grading, and post-production workflows.
- The people who can drive the technology
AI isn’t “press a button and get an image.” It’s an iterative process that requires artistic judgement, technical literacy, and the ability to translate brand needs into visual output. That’s why our creative team (people who come from photography, design, content and editorial backgrounds) are so crucial.
Bringing those three elements together allowed us to create something exceptional for Gallery.
The Solution: Hyper-Realistic, Fully Styled AI Content; At a Fraction of the Cost
For Gallery Sofas, we built an AI content ecosystem that allowed us to produce:
- Hyper-realistic lifestyle images
- Bespoke interior environments
- Multiple styling directions
- Colour-accurate product depictions
- Dynamic videos and short-form motion
- Creative variations for ads, social content, and website assets
All without:
- Shipping a single sofa
- Building a set
- Hiring a production crew
- Spending thousands on props
- Securing shooting locations
- Waiting weeks for post-production
Instead of the traditional process (which requires exhaustive logistics) our team produced entire content libraries within days, not months.
The styling? Entirely art-directed in AI.
The lighting? Custom-built for each scene.
The props, décor, and environments? Tailored to the Gallery brand identity.
The final results? Images and videos that look like they came straight out of a premium furniture catalogue; because in every way that matters, they do.
The Results: A Scalable Content Engine for HTL’s Global Brands
The impact on Gallery Sofas was immediate:
- Rapid market entry with a complete suite of launch assets
- Consistent visual identity across social, digital ads, and retailer channels
- Huge cost savings, especially compared to traditional photo and video shoots
- Unlimited scaling potential, allowing new product ranges and configurations to be promoted without new production cycles
- Fast turnaround, with new content variations created in hours, not weeks
The quality of the work also caught HTL International’s attention. What started as an Australian launch quickly expanded into a global relationship. REMAP is now producing AI-driven content for multiple HTL brands in different markets. Proof that the work isn’t just good for AI. It’s good, full stop.
HTL has described the output as industry-leading, and that’s not an exaggeration: for a sector where content is traditionally slow and costly, our approach has fundamentally changed what’s possible.
Why This Matters for Aussie Businesses
Even though HTL is a global manufacturer, the lessons here apply directly to any business here in Australia:
- AI doesn’t replace strategy or creative thinking; your brand still needs a clear direction.
- AI allows you to produce the kind of high-quality content that used to be out of reach.
- AI reduces costs, increases speed, and removes the operational headaches that slow down growth.
- The real value comes from combining human creativity with the right technology.
This is where REMAP sits: at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and AI-driven execution.
What’s Next: The Future of AI Content in Furniture (and Beyond)
Our work with Gallery Sofas is just the beginning.
As AI technology matures, we’re pushing deeper into:
- Full-motion video
- 3D product visualisation
- Automated creative variations for different audiences
- Fully immersive, AI-generated environments
- Personalised content at scale
And the best part? Every new advancement gets fed back into our content engine, giving our clients (and brands like Gallery) a competitive advantage that compounds over time.
The journey with Gallery Sofas has been one of the most exciting and creatively rewarding projects we’ve undertaken. It’s shown us what’s possible when you combine brand strategy, creative vision, and market-leading AI technology into one seamless process.
For HTL, the result is a faster, more cost-efficient, and more scalable way to launch and grow brands in competitive global markets.
For REMAP, it’s proof that AI-driven creative isn’t just the future; it’s delivering results right now.
