Utopia Desk by InsidherLand
Dimensions: D 76 x W 160 x H 74 cm.
Materials: Oak veneer in open grain with cream finish and polished brass.
70 kg.

Since the Renaissance, many attempts have been made to develop ideal cities in which there would live perfect and sustainable communities. The new cities were planned in rational and geometric styles, trying to reflect the new habits and evolution of societies with the aim of improving the living conditions of its inhabitants. However, due to their complexity, the vast majority of them failed to transpose the theoretical idealizations of a utopian urbanism.
Reflecting the city that never was, the Utopia desk is designed in the likeness of the architectural scale that suggests a crossing through the structures of a utopian city, organized by the principles of symmetry and ideal forms. As a futuristic project, two brass blades stylize the cream oak top, curving it with an avant-garde detail. Surprisingly, a pencil drawer is hidden in one brass blade.
At the base, the open shape of two blocks suggests a passage between two identical metal arches, reproducing the curved detail that we find in the brass blades of the top.
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.

Hot Desk 1, Miami by Russell Bamber, Geometric Shaped Desk, Colored Laminate
By Russell Bamber
Located in London, GB
Hot Desk 1 is an eye-catching centre-piece sculptural unit that can be used as a reception desk.
Hot Desk 1- Miami teeters on the edge of design, painting and architecture; selecting and employing elements freely and playfully to suggest function and familiarity. It is made to invigorate a space; to bring unexpected joy and dynamism to our lives, bringing a new and exciting twist to the space it occupies.
Hot Desk 1 suggests function, and is functional, but its function is also to tease and beguile. The mischievous use of color and surface seduces the viewer into joyful excitement and further blur the boundaries of sculpture and design. Its dimensions are domestic but its forms create a frisson; a frisson that encourages the user to make a decision about their physical journey through a space (much as a kissing gate...
