Samira Adami Dadizadeh is an independent, award-winning jewelry designer whose work blends cultural narrative, technical ingenuity and wearability. Trained in industrial design, Samira develops collections that reinterpret motifs and traditions into contemporary, transformable jewelry pieces — objects designed to be worn, felt and lived with. Her recent recognition at the A’ Design Award has positioned her among the most inventive emerging voices in contemporary jewelry design.
Background & Formation
Samira holds a Master’s degree in Industrial Design and has developed her practice across studio-based and academic environments. Her work draws on deep interests in symbolism, material tactility and modular systems — an approach that lets her produce jewelry that is both narratively rich and technically robust. Her profile on A’ Design describes her as a designer who “transforms meaningful references into contemporary, wearable pieces.”
Signature Projects: Morphknock & Whispering Olive
Morphknock — Transformable Jewelry
Morphknock is a modular jewelry system inspired by Persian door knockers and their symbolic gestures. The collection explores modularity, cultural motifs and versatile wearability: pieces can be reconfigured, layered or combined to create different looks and functions. Morphknock received high recognition from the A’ Design Awards for its blend of heritage-driven concept and mechanical ingenuity.
Whispering Olive — A Poetic Jewelry Set
Whispering Olive is an elegant jewelry set that references the olive branch as a symbol of peace, resilience and hope. The design translates symbolic imagery into refined form: delicate chains, articulated elements and careful proportions that read as both jewelry and narrative object. Whispering Olive won a Bronze A’ Design Award, further confirming Samira’s ability to combine storytelling with refined making.
A’ Design Awards — The Honors
Samira’s A’ Design recognitions are a central credential for her international profile:
- Morphknock — Iron A’ Design Award (Transformable Jewelry / Jewelry Design).
- Whispering Olive — Bronze A’ Design Award (Jewelry Design, 2025).
These awards come with press materials, official winner pages and gallery / press kits that increase visibility to galleries, buyers and curators. Her A’ Design winner and designer profiles collect these honors and provide media resources for press and exhibition use.
Design Language & Methods
Samira’s design language centers on three interconnected strategies:
- Narrative-driven form — each collection begins with a cultural or symbolic idea (for example, the olive as a motif or the Persian door knocker as a behavioral prompt) that becomes the project’s design DNA.
- Modular engineering — pieces often use modular joints, interlocking parts or transformable mechanics so a single object can serve multiple aesthetic and functional roles.
- Material finesse — fine metalworking, light-weighting, and finishing choices focus on long-term wearability and tactile pleasure.
This combination results in jewelry that functions as both meaningful accessory and collectible object.
Market Positioning & Commercial Potential
Samira occupies a valuable niche between contemporary art jewelry and accessible design. That dual position gives her several commercial advantages:
- Collector appeal: Limited editions and concept-driven collections attract galleries and private collectors.
- Editorial visibility: Award wins (A’ Design) and strong story-driven work make her attractive to design press and curated retail.
- Brand partnerships: The modular, narrative approach scales to capsule collections with fashion houses or lifestyle brands while retaining craft authenticity.
For brands and executive decision-makers, collaborating with Samira signals investment in craftsmanship, cultural storytelling and product differentiation — three levers that elevate perceived value and brand storytelling.
Exhibitions, Press & Visibility
Samira’s projects have been featured in A’ Design winner galleries and design news outlets; she maintains an active social presence where process photos, studio tests and award ceremonies are shared with audiences and buyers. Her Instagram account showcases both finished pieces and studio work, a useful resource for press and potential collaborators.
How to Present Her Work (For Galleries & E-commerce)
- Hero image: polished close-up of the piece on a neutral background.
- Motion content: short video (10–20s) showing reconfiguration or wearability — transformable pieces sell better when buyers can see motion.
- Process note: one-paragraph explanation of concept + techniques (e.g., modular joints, hand-finishing).
- Limited editions: numbering and a short certificate of authenticity increase collectibility.
Why Collectors & CEOs Should Care
- Authenticity: Samira’s projects are rooted in cultural references and craftsmanship — valuable in markets saturated with mass-produced jewelry.
- Differentiation: Transformable systems and narrative frameworks offer clear differentiation for boutiques and concept stores.
- Scalability: Modular designs allow for small-batch production and potential brand collaborations without losing design integrity.
