A modern mirror inspired by mountain nature - Insidherland

After creating the Into the Woods shelf, which represents a long walk through a Swedish forest towards the mountain summit, Joana Santos Barbosa conceived the Kvarna mirror, inspired by the reflections seen upon reaching the peak. The irregular shapes of the frozen lake, formed by a simple mirror, are as true to reality as distant memory allows. The complexity of the dense grove surrounding the lake is composed of 88 cast brass elements, each depicted as a single tree, crafted through a detailed handmade process of adaptation and connection between the pieces. To complete this concept, an aging effect adds the final touch to the contrast between shadows and illuminated tree tops seen from above. The rectangular shape of the mirror frame allows the viewer to look directly at the landscape through the camera’s viewfinder, recreating the exact moment Joana was unable to photograph.

Extensive correlation between life memories and artistic furniture projects are synonymous with the brand from Portugal. Insidherland was entirely created by Joanne Santos Barbosa in 2012 and reflects high-quality prestige.

An impressively broad range of contemporary elite furniture, lighting, and accessories attests to true functional art. Joanna explores influences from her travels around the world to define Earth as a place that translates into original designs.

The essential essence of InsidherLand is presented through two inspiring series. The Beyond Memory collection is deeply influenced by organic forms of nature, legends, and traditional cultures. Meanwhile, the Identity collection is shaped by architectural and artistic forms, interiors surrounded by natural materials, and significant works of art.

Positioned strategically in luxury decor markets, the InsidherLand team is proud of collaborations with top architects and interior studios worldwide, seeking handcrafted exclusive items that evoke emotion and stand out in refined spaces. With passion and enthusiasm, they dedicate themselves to each creation to surprise a sensitive yet demanding audience. Utilizing traditional craftsmanship techniques, all pieces are made by Portuguese artisans and jewelers, skillfully carved from noble materials, with every detail completed with style and perfection.

What does Joanna say about her brand?

I am deeply convinced that I am not a creator of objects, but a fearless sculptor of dreams. My collections forge a unique vision that combines the wild side of nature’s wonders with a refined lifestyle inspired by artistic influences.

Each creation is imbued with narrative and symbolism, and my Land is a creative space where anything can happen and everything is possible. Mountains transform into surprising armchairs, trees into mysterious cabinets, architectural details are captured through geometric lighting, and even paintings are reimagined on exquisite tables.

Meticulously crafted using traditional techniques by my team of Portuguese masters and jewelers, every personal influence becomes a one-of-a-kind work of art.
