Materials: Oak veneer in open grain with cream finish and polished brass. 70 kg. Other finishes are available 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.
