Not a Cube is a geometric composition that follows the reductionist tendencies of Minimal Art, emerged in the United States in the mid-1960s.
Particularly influenced by the work of Donald Judd, in which the artist exposes on a wall four square boxes, identical and empty in a square-shaped composition (Untitled, 1991), the design of Not a Cube is also born out of the square as a pure geometric shape.
In Judd's composition, the visualization from the central point of the set shows the depth of two interior faces of each elementary object. It is exactly this bilateral detail that is explored in Not a Cube. In order to obtain the depth effect, two sides rise independently of the square seat to offer comfort to the back.
A square that by jumping into three-dimensional reality would become a cube, but it is not. It is an exercise of geometric composition and purification that doesn’t intend to be an absolutely minimal piece. Not a Cube is a contemporary bench reduced to its essential so that the versatility of its upholstery is highlighted in the most diverse interiors.
Created by Architect Joana Santos Barbosa in 2012, InsidherLand is a Portuguese brand of exclusive design. Drawn with the signature of the creator, the impressive range of contemporary luxury furniture, lighting, upholstery and accessories are connected to her personal memories and have been highlighted for their innovative and soulful designs.
Joana explores several influences from travels around the world to define her own Land as a place that allows her to translate her perceptions into objects of art.
The essence of InsidherLand is presented by two inspiring collections. Beyond Memory Collection is deeply influenced by organic forms of nature, legends and traditional cultures, as for the Identity Collection is molded by forms of Architecture and Art. Both collections are designed as a dialog in which nature meets strong architectural lines to create relaxed and sophisticated interiors surrounded by natural materials and meaningful art pieces.
Being positioned in strategic markets of high-end luxury decoration, InsidherLand team is proud of working with the best architects and interior design studios from all over the world who seek for handmade exclusive objects that arouse emotions and stand out in exquisite spaces.
We are dedicated with love and enthusiasm into every creation to surprise a sensitive but demanding public. Using the expertise of traditional craft techniques, all creations are made by the hands of Portuguese master craftsmen and jewelers who wisely sculpt them in noble materials, finalizing every detail with elegance and perfection.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
