Room: Surf Room
Ameera Azami’s work focuses on wellness, mindfulness and deepening the connection to purposeful performance. In a world where we are disconnected from nature, it is important for Ameera that people surround themselves with art that reconnects them to the outside world, especially within a work environment.
Designed for the brand Surf, the artist was inspired to create this piece by looking at the brand’s key elements of nature, flowers and water. Ameera’s work is entirely made using recycled sari silks, echoing one of Unilever’s most fundamental aspects: sustainability. The work aims to leave individuals feeling inspired and motivated as they gaze upon the intertwining of the colours and threads of the Sari silks.

Artist info
Ameera Azami studied Product and Furniture Design at Kingston University and graduated in 2021. As a designer, her work and practice is a constant search of ways to reconnect individuals back to nature and inspire us to adopt more sustainable attitudes. Throughout her design journey, Ameera has explored product design, furniture design and graphic design.
In her most recent series of works completed for the Unilever Four Acres site, Ameera explores the world of handcraft; a traditional method of making. On this evolution within her practise Ameera states:
“I believe it is important to preserve these traditional techniques of making because the methods are sustainable and being passed down from generation to generation, they stand the test of time, which is what we are missing in this throw away society. I hope my work can inspire and spark positive conversations.”
