Ylam Deme is an architect and artist. Bridging both realms, with space making her practice aims to rekindle forgotten memories, both enigmatic and evocative. The work ranges from private commissions for residential spaces to furniture, sculptural objects and dry points.
Drawing inspiration from folklore, storytelling, and her diverse heritage —from Ivory Coast to Mauritania and France— her creative expression reflects a rich tapestry of influences. In all its forms, the work fosters an eclectic experience, inviting viewers into a realm where memory and imagination intertwine.

Based in London, Ylam Deme attended the Architectural Association in London (AA Dipl Honours, 2022) and has prior training from the Atelier de Sèvres in Paris.

Diatoms Collection, 2023
Jericoacoara, Brazil

The collection tells the story of cultural exchange by celebrating the rich and diverse cultures that intersect in the equatorial region around the Atlantic Ocean. The contrasting black and natural wood pieces with delicate carvings echo the shapes of diatoms, tiny prehistoric organisms carried by the sandy winds from the Sahara to the Amazon rainforest.
