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. Martin's 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.
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.

NEW RELEASES AT DECOREX INTERNATIONAL 2015

INSIDHERLAND will once again showcase in London. For the first time at DECOREX INTERNATIONAL, the
leading luxury interiors event for design professionals, INSIDHERLAND Founder & Creative Director Joana
Santos Barbosa will launch her newest exclusive creations in a sophisticated and elegant ambience.

TREE BRANCHES WALL LAMP H.50cm|19,70 W 10cm|3,95 D 10cm|3,95

The Tree Branches wall lamp handcrafted in hammered patinated brass is a conceptual approach, designed to recreate the sunbeams
that pierce the density of forests. The clean lines of this stylish piece have the same technique of the original side table, using a more
detailed approximation as if we were closely looking to a single branch that hides us from the sunlight while we stand in its shadow.
Therefore, the light only appears on a secondary plan, brightening the wall around it.

WESTERN 2 SEAT SOFA H.95cm|37,40 W.150cm|59,06 D.82cm|32,28

Western sofa is similar to the original design of the Western armchair that rescues the image of a cowboy hat standing in a saddle
rack. The top performs the concave hat with rounded tabs and the band around it turns into a comfortable cushion. The base in
walnut approaches the structure and color of the saddle rack.

FIGUEROA ARMCHAIR H.90cm|35,43 W.90cm|35,43 D.90cm|35,43

Knowing Figueroa Mountain for so many years, Ive always admired it as an invaluable painting thats too superb to be confined
in a Museum. Instead, the immeasurable curved forms rise freely above the ground, allowing me to absorb fragments of its
beauty and transform them into one of my special creations. | Joana Santos Barbosa
Located in the sunny California on the south-west of the United States of America, the charming Figueroa Mountain is a magical
landscape that led to the creation of the Figueroa armchair. The long curves of this mountain were taken to the armchairs exterior
and the mountainside ripples, that seem to have been dug by large fingers coming from the sky, were placed on the inside. The top of
the armchair features the great bow of the skyline and the yellow tone of the ground is replaced by the base in brushed brass. Both
soft velvet and brass are reunited in the soft curves that go all around this compact creation. Just like the mountain meets the land.

ALENTEJO SIDE TABLE H.60cm|23,62 W.49cm|19,29 D.49cm|19,29

Since I can remember, I think of Alentejo as the most peaceful place in my Country. On the rolling plains of this land, thousands of
cork oak trees open their branches to the sky and, in a powerful reunion, conceive an impressive scenario where time seems to
stop. | Joana Santos Barbosa
Alentejo side table is a glimpse over the South of Portugal where thousands of cork oaks trees raise their canopies to the sky.
Overlapped on branches opened in obtuse angles, the canopies are separated from their support bases, being gracefully balanced
above the ground. These typical trees seem like tables spread across the horizon. Choosing one of the four tops available, we
approach the different seasons: Spring in a dark green lacquered, Summer in a sunburned tone of walnut marquetry, Autumn in an
empty space of acrylic and Winter in the white hues of Estremoz marble. The slender base in cast brass with patinated effect results
of a careful sculpted work that highlights the natural details. Each root lightly touches the ground taking its own direction as shadows
that vanish into the landscape.

NAVAJO CANYON CABINET H.200cm|78,74 W.100cm|39,37 D.54cm| 21,25

Din Bikeyah or Navajoland is located in the United States of America within the boundary of four sacred mountains, Mt. Blanca
to the east, Mt. Taylor to the south, San Francisco Peak to the west and Mt Hesperus to the north near Durango, Colorado. The
Navajo natives, the Din believe that these mountains were created by the Holy People who taught them how to live in harmony
with Mother Earth, Father Sky and all other elements of nature such as man, animals and plants. In this impressive territory with
dozen national monuments that cross Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, we find Navajo Canyon, a magnificent cliff formation. The
sandstone canyon high waved walls in brownish red and white tones contrasting with Lake Powells blue waters perform an
impressive sight.
The cabinet Navajo Canyon reinvents the glorious majesty of Arizona cliffs with their twists and turns along the Colorado River. With
the identical proportions and tones of the rock formations sedimented over thousands of years, this cabinet is built through a
complex process finished in full height walnut veneer and its base in white sycamore.
By accentuating the long exterior lines without any visible opening, the apparently solid volume resembles the stone walls so we can
travel a long journey through the serpentine cliffs.
On the walnut interior, two glass shelves go unnoticed while the turquoise silhouette of the Colorado River suddenly appears
between four drawers. Taking advantage of the natural curves, each drawer opens, unveiling its interior totally lacquered in the same
hue which gives us the feeling of jumping in freefall from the top of the cliff to dive in the crystal clear waters of the river.

BEYOND MEMORY COLLECTION

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 and 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.
