I draw memories to create what I have never seen

Founder & Creative Director

Joana Santos Barbosa

ESSENCE
INSIDHERLAND is a Portuguese brand created by Architect Joana Santos Barbosa in 2012 dedicated to design, production and sale of exclusive furniture. Drawn with the personal signature of the creator, the pieces of elegant and surprising design result from the embrace between the perfection of high technology and the expertise of traditional craft techniques of extreme value. Art creations that take shape in the hands of Portuguese master craftsmen and jewelers who wisely sculpt them in noble materials, finalizing every detail with elegance and perfection. I draw memories to create what I have never seen. My mission is to tell stories through art pieces with function. Like a painting or a sculpture, an INSIDHERLAND Furniture Piece gives shape to personal memories and arouses emotions in those who experience them. Joana Santos Barbosa INSIDHERLAND results from an assemblage of words that, involving a real personality, evokes a new Land to explore. The Essence of the brand is closely linked to its creator and results from the compatibility between real and imaginary, past and future, local and universal, functional and art. We return to our roots, to the comfort and harmony, to the serenity and naturalness of things because we believe that the symbolic essence of art results from devotion to the senses as well as the appreciation of figurative experience. Our team is dedicated with love and enthusiasm into every creation to surprise a sensitive but demanding public, giving the opportunity to surround with pieces that awaken the senses, thrill for their drama and stand out in the most exquisite spaces and bold decorations. Meet this Land where desirable creations passionately reveal the pages of the book of life of its creator, a Land of mysteries and treasures that attracts nature lovers, travelers, adventurers and dreamers.

JOANA SANTOS BARBOSA


Born in Oporto, Joana Santos Barbosa graduates in Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Oporto in 2006, later deepening her knowledge in Interior Design at St. Martins School of Arts and Design in London. Alongside with Architecture, the passion for the Detail motivates her to create her own exclusive furniture design. From her training she takes the discipline and persistence in the pursuit of the unquestionable accuracy. From the World she seizes cultures and contexts, dissects memories and rearranges concepts, taking them as starting points for the creative liberation which questions the immediate nature of the perception of reality. Having a refined intuition and a particular way of feeling, Joana Santos Barbosa has a vein of attachment to the Land, a connection to the emotional and a devotion to the senses and is very early deeply influenced by the mysteries of the natural world, taking an interest in legends and organic forms and by many trips that opened her eyes to inspiring cultures and traditions. Result of various influences, Joana develops a personal determination in analyzing the world around her own growth process and for that she creates characters, places and experiences that are often on the border between lived experience and fluent imagination. She is fascinated by the limits of emotions and the threshold of feeling. Her creative perseverance and curiosity for experimentation proves to be somewhere between the sinuous elegance and the harsh aggressiveness, the softness of a touch and the strictness of a line, the organic forms of nature and the geometric accuracy, a smooth trace of a sketch and the precision of a detailed drawing.

When we look at reality through memory we create connections, eliminate the unnecessary and add details that we wish to be true.Through the creative eye of Joana Santos Barbosa, Beyond Memory Collection opens the gates of a Land almost as real as imaginary and each creation reveals a personality trait of its creator taking us to places where A tale never loses in the telling. Designed to stand out in exquisite spaces, the creations of Beyond Memory Collection evoke emotional relations with the natural world, telling stories that give shape to memories that surprise a demanding public which seeks exclusivity, innovation and elegance. Each piece is made by craftsmen, using handcrafted techniques, whereby small differences between pieces of the same model may occur which makes them particularly unique and exclusive.

Homeland represents the values of the place where we are born; an autumnal place of aninner light with aserene and protector spirit. Recreating the image of an ancient cottage, with irregular whitewashed walls, Homeland is a piece that results from a thorough handmade work and each piece turns out to be unique, endowed by unrepeatable details.

According to an old Legend, each leaf of a clover had a meaning: Hope, Faith and Love. It was believed that whoever found a 4 leaf clover would have the Luck represented by the fourth leaf with the gift to absorb the magical powers of the forest and the Luck of the gods. The number of leaves represent a complete cycle, as well as the 4 seasons, the four phases of the moon and the 4 elements of nature: water, air, earth and fire.

On a cold afternoon I found myself thinking about where to place a cup of tea and a small plate of cookies. The table at the center of the room was too far away from the couch and image of a clover appeared by surprise. Joana Santos Barbosa Four... for Luck is a special clover with a creative process based on the interpretation of the Legend of the 4 leaf clover, in which each petal represents a meaning. The concept of total independence was explored so that the four constituent parts of the whole - Hope, Faith, Love and Luck - can play a free specific role whenever necessary. Slender and projected in the air, each petal finished in listed rosewood veneer is like a real leaf in which the organic thin stem rises dividing it into two parts. This detail of separation that creates the continuity between petal and stem is emphasized in polished brass. The excellence of materials and finishes combined with the accuracy of the small details makes this center table a true refinement and elegance furniture piece. A Legend gains strength through belief and each legend is contested by disbelief. Winston Churchill said I dont believe in luck, I believe in attention todetail. Stories, legends and memories take shape over time. We dont know the true power of this legend but just in case Joana Santos Barbosa created Four... for Luck, through the attention to detail.

In my garden grows a thick blanket of clovers. Their different sizes draw freeform shapes that in a provocative tone evoke my imagination... What if through my fingers I would raise them in the air? An elegant console would emerge. The top would draw those combinations of different sizes and their slender stems would freely meet and form the organic base that nature intended. Joana Santos Barbosa Continuing the interpretation of the Legend of the four leaf clover materialized in the Four... for Luck center table, this console with the same name explores the meaning of Luck in these peculiar plants.On the top made with exquisite rosewood marquetry work, it is drawn an intentional chaos under which each four leaf clover is only revealed only with a careful look. The clovers seem to strive for a major role, overlapping imaginarily on a common plan. Purposely, none clover stands out and we find the beauty in this organic and anonymous set. Starting with the elegance of these plants removed from the land, their original proportion is emphasized with total freedom. The long stems in polished brass acquire enormous proportions that appear to invent a wavy dance that unites them, making them stronger parts of a whole. Unlike the lack of four-leaf clovers, this delicate console offers the viewer the experience of a reflection on the power of the meaning of the fourth leaf which is so abundant here. If one day we found a garden populated by such mystical amulets, the power of the fourth leaf would never again be a prize offered by chance and Luck would become an element of personal achievement obtained through the watchful eye of each one of us.

My Darling, Do you remember when we promised each other that we would eternalize our love? I remember as it was today We ran into the forest looking for a tree where we could engrave our names and our hearts. Holding hands, we walked around a lake until we sighted a splendid five trees grove where a small tree stood out. When that tree finally found us, we felt that was the elected one. That was The Special Tree. Yours forever, V

The Special Tree is a tree in which two lovers write the promise of an everlasting love; a small tree on the bank of a lake that stands out as the center of a geometrized composition. Five treetops on top of trunks in polished copper, form an imposing grove with the splendor of autumn colors in a mysterious creation where a high gloss finish makes us foresee its own reflection on the waters surface. As in the autumnal palette, each one of the trees of this creation has its appearance and its color, dialoguing with one another in a smooth degrade that celebrates the harmony of the season. The craftsmanship on exotic roots and leaves emphasizes the rich tonal variations and creates ripples that remind us of the wind flow among the branches causing the swirl fall of dry leaves on the water. In a jewelry work, the organic base in polished copper that appears to be a piece of damp earth near the lake, is chiseled with five types of fallen leaves of each one of the species, a work that is repeated in the carved recording of the creations name in the trunk of The Special Tree. Inside the volumes, the tone of warm beams of sunlight piercing through the trees is captured in the high gloss satinwood finish punctuated by glass shelves. Inside of The Special Tree, small wavy copper branches were designed to appear to be levitating while lifting the shelves.

My Love, I will never forget that day when as we walked away from The Special Tree we looked in each others eyes and sharing our thoughts without saying a single word, we returned to the shore of that lake. We observed the leaves that fell from the trees like wind on the water and chose the ones that landed seeming to bathe and reflect our passionate faces. From that lake we withdrew five Fallen Leaves of different shapes as symbols taken from trees that would testify our everlasting love. Eternally yours, M

The wind passage among the branches of five trees by a lake caused the spinning fall of five leaves of different shapes. Fallen Leaves were removed from the water still dotted with small drops like real mirrors eager to reflect the eyes of two young lovers and to tell a paragraph of their love story. The natural aging revealed by the broken tips of these leaves is created by the hand carved structure with the wisdom of master craftsmen, whose hands give life to the details of the natural drawings, and where the gradients in warm tones of gold and copper leaf finish in high gloss varnish extol the reflection of water between brushstrokes coming from the spectacular palette of autumnal colors. Nothing ends. Even at the end of life, leaves with beautiful burned and aged edges by the passing of the seasons, are a paradox with more vivid colors than ever, revealing memories that inspire the creation of pieces where that fleeting image will remain intact as if we were allowed to stop the time. Bringing these pieces from the richest season of the year to the comfort of the interior, the orientation of the five mirrors is free as if we photographed the leaves in free fall, creating many combinations possibilities.

A few years later we returned to the forest lake where the autumnal colors palette brushed bright colors in a landscape that seemed not to have aged.

Far beyond the weather cycles of life, the magic of that place remained intact. So as our love. M&V

Inspired by the trees that in autumn hold their foliage with difficulty, Tree Branches transmits the nakedness of the season, establishing a balance between the structure organization and the free will of the other elements through the minimal contact between the parts. Entirely handcrafted using traditional techniques like marquetry and hammered metal, Tree Branches is an extremely elegant side table. Three vertical branches in hammered brass are elevated by three identical diagonals branches that contact with the ground, creating the illusion that the vertical branches are keystones to balance the slender structure. The creator devoted herself so carefully to the connection between the elements as to the emptiness between them, drawing an incomplete crown of leaves that allows a better view of small leaves distributed by several minor branches, still resistant to the passage of the season. All leaves are exquisitely executed in wood with bevelled finish in rosewood, ebony and olive tree veneer in half gloss varnish and the glass top is bevelled reinforcing the thin image of the set.

From The Special Tree, Fallen Leaves on the water reflected the faces of two lovers as mirrors, while others fighters still remained in some Tree Branches. Completing that scenario, a few leaves were on the center of the lake stretched over Three Rocks of different sizes, sparkling by water that ran on them. The robust volumes, with their shapes irregularly cut, are finished in smoky brown birds eye veneer in high gloss varnish. The small dotted nodules of this veneer resembling the texture of a true rock and the high gloss finish to the lake water, making of these three tables almost an exact picture of the idyllic and passionate vision of that lake in autumn. Fallen freely on each of the three tables, we find small leaves embedded by the hands of a craftsman with the art of marquetry. The work is performed entirely by hand with wisdom and perfection so the observer loses himself in this story in which nature and love dont have barriers and celebrate the marriage between reality and fiction. Inspired by the life story of these two lovers, I created The Special Tree, Fallen Leaves, Tree Branches and Three Rocks that I dedicate to my parents as symbols of what they mean to me. For M&V with all my love. Joana Santos Barbosa

The Osani game is played by Ef children of the Ituri tropical forest in the Republic of Congo. Sitting in a circle with feet touching in the center, each child in turn names a round object like the sun (oi), the moon (tiba), a star (bibi) an eye (ue) and then goes on to name a figurative expression of round, like the circle of the family, togetherness, a baby in the womb or the cycle of the moon. As players fail to come up with a term that is circular they are eliminated from the game. In the end, only one will remain and tradition says this player will live a long and prosperous life.

The energy of children sitting in a circle caught my attention. The image of Osani circle game immediately drew a creation in my mind that aims to be an ode to respect for human life and the wisdom of ancient traditions. Joana Santos Barbosa The Osani Circle photograph was taken by Belgian anthropologist Jean-Pierre Hallet in the 1960s (All Rights Reserved: see below); Hallet lived many years with the Ef and loved their community traditions. He was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize while working to ensure their survival. In 2013, the human circle inspires Joana Santos Barbosa to create a round mirror that represents the spirit of mutual help in this tribe, thought to be one of the oldest on earth. The ebony veneer captures the effect of the childrens outstretched legs around the center, and the aged gold leaf brings to mind the soles of their feet and their sun-bleached heads. The circle is the perfect form in which no side stands out. Like every child, every part of this mirror becomes essential to its balance where the flow of energy around center is identical and of equal value; without beginning or end.

With giant cliffs over the Pacific as huge stone sharp needles stretching in height and plunging into the ocean between mystical sea caves and scalloped beaches, Na Pali Coast is a place almost inaccessible, surrounded by many inspiring legends. Hawaiian legend tells that Pele, goddess of fire, went to Na Pali in search of a home but her sister and rival, Namakaokahai, goddess of the sea, drove her away in a violent confrontation whose marks remained visible forever. Protected between Na Pali ribbed walls is Honop valley that seems to form a seat on the mountain, in which the gods can sit back and admire the constant battles between the natural World.

Mother Nature carved a paradise called Na Pali located on Kauai, an island remnant from the force of a volcano with five million years with its profile drawn by rain and the blasts of winter waves against the basalt cliffs. Spectacular, imposing and lush, Na Pali that means the cliffs, is a breathtaking landscape. With a strong presence, the handmade Na Pali chair portrays in detail the mystique of this dramatic backdrop of verdant valleys, striated walls and sharp ridges. The image of this fortress coast is captured by wooden sides extending as cliffs from the bottom to the top and the front feet get the form of the numerous sculpted needles across the landscape. Na Pali is a piece that challenges the viewer to discover its sharp cuts and grooves extending continuously around, made by a handcrafted work in cotton velvet which combines the variations of the vast range of Na Pali Coast colors resulting from the change of direction of the rays of the sun, the movement of clouds and ocean color. The comfort of the armchair Na Pali is deeply connected with the features of striated mountains, sharp ridges, deep valleys and furrows dug by dizzying tropical waterfalls, so that humans may sit like gods on the towering cliffs.

Ive always been fascinated by trees. Big trees, exotic trees, bare trees, colored trees or just common green trees. For me, there is nothing in this amazing World that can be compared to the fresh smell out of a thousand shadows dancing in the wind while the sun bathes them with the miracle of life. I could not live without them. Thank you Inspiring Trees. Joana Santos Barbosa

Inspiring Trees is the essence of a personal fascination. Slender, geometric and seemingly minimal, is a lighting piece fully executed in brass which carries form, image and meaning and wants to pass a message of equality among the numerous species of trees without highlighting any particular example or feature. In the treetop, the detailed hammered handcrafted work for visual transformation of the material, captures the richness of light and shadows present in any real tree, leaving a serene brightness take care of its trunk and base. The light is distributed by the three levels of the treetop and diffuses, controlled by the geometry of several overlapping pieces, lighting the surrounding space in an unexpectedly way; almost ethereal.
