Many years after visited the heart of Sweden, Joana Santos Barbosa creates ‘Into the Woods’ bookcase to celebrate the charm of Nordic nature and the mysterious journey that led up to one of the most memorable places she has ever met. Into the Woods’ is a bookcase that carries the feeling of a long walk through the forest beneath intertwined branches of huge trees with the goal of reaching the top of a mountain. The enchanting path is captured by the angular shape of the bookcase in which four vertical elements in walnut obtain a slight slope that emphasizes the perspective of the lengthy tree trunks along the way. Using the same method, the height of each element is also highlighted by the tapered end, as if we were looking to the slender trees reaching the sky. In a gentle embrace, each vertical element extends an arm of stylized blades in oxidized brushed brass designed to freely touch the remaining tree trunks and create four shelves repeated in different directions. Above each shelf, the glass top holds up in the interior space so that the vertical elements may be admired as monumental tree trunks. Each organic element of the bookcase was designed to create a variety of shadows that move according to the lights of the surrounding space. It’s the richness of the woods glimpsed by the most dazzling creation. Created by Architect Joana Santos Barbosa in 2012, InsidherLand is a Portuguese brand of exclusive design.
