A modern oval center table inspired by the architecture of ancient Greece - Insidherland

The Ionic central tables are based on one of the three classical architectural styles developed in ancient Greek temples called Ionic. Unlike the Doric, the oldest and most massive order, the columns of the Ionic and Corinthian orders consisted of three elements: the base, shaft, and capital. As symbols of worship, over the centuries many impressive temples were destroyed or simply fell into ruin.

The remains of Ionic temples with their beautifully preserved columns inspired the creation of Ionic central tables, each featuring a tripartite column missing one of its elements. This approach to incomplete Ionic columns uniquely presents unadorned forms of the base and capital, as the missing shaft is replaced by a modern metal structure comprising two separate elements. The Ionic central tables, counteracting the construction process of ancient temples, have a delicate conical shape that allows for less contact with the floor, referencing how free modern forms would be used in the three-sided construction of a classical temple.

Deeply intertwined with life memories and striking furniture designs, Insidherland is a company from Portugal. Founded entirely by Joanne Santos Barbosa in 2012, it reflects high-quality luxury.

The remarkably extensive range of contemporary elegant furniture, lighting, and accessories bears witness to true functional art. Joanne explores influences from her travels around the world to define Earth as a place that allows translating these inspirations into original designs.

InsidherLand’s core essence 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.

Holding a prominent position in strategic luxury decor markets, the InsidherLand team is proud of collaborating with top architects and interior studios worldwide, who seek handcrafted exclusive items that evoke emotions 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, who skillfully carve them from noble materials, perfecting every detail with style and precision.

What does Joanna say about her workshop?

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.

Every 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 a painting is reinvented into an exquisite table.

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