Some time ago I wrote about Aurland Look Out that become a big architecture sight in Norway. Designed by Todd Saunders and Tommie Wilhelmsen, Aurland Look Out offers a spectacular view of one of the largest fjords on Norway’s west coast. In one of previous articles on NDB I have published an interview with Tommie Wilhelmsen that has evoked big feedback and interest among NDB readers. After this interview I felt that we must to publish an interview with Todd Saunders, but due the my tight business schedule this article was postponed. Finally, I found some gap in my activities and come to Todd with a request of an interview and he was so kind to answer to few our questions:

Have a seat at Nordic design show : Arts Weekend : Features : DAILY YOMIURI ONLINE (The Daily Yomiuri)
It has been quite a while since the Nordic style of design, which had its key formative years from the late 1940s to the 1960s in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark, started gaining popularity in Japan. Initially coinciding with a boom in midcentury furniture, the popularity of Nordic design has never subsided in this country.
Nordic Modernism: Design and Crafts, which will start Saturday at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, will provide a good opportunity to find out what the Nordic style really is. It also may offer a clue to the question of why the designs are being greatly welcomed in this faraway country whose culture and climate are so very different.
“We will look back to the so-called golden era of Nordic modernism by dividing exhibits into three groups and showing them largely chronologically. Visitors will find not only designs, including those that already are familiar to them, but also the history and culture behind them through the exhibits,” said Shihoko Iida, a curator at the gallery.
According to Iida, Nordic modernism was established as the strength of the designs was passed on to nations outside the region in a gradual manner via the United States and Britain, as the two major economic powers in the 1970s and 80s actively imported them.
“Nordic Modernism: Design and Crafts” will be held from Nov. 3 to Jan. 14 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays) at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery in Hatsudai, Tokyo. Admission: 1,000 yen for adults, 800 yen for university and high school students and 600 yen for middle and primary school students. Closed on Dec. 29-Jan. 3, as well as Mondays except for Dec. 24 and Jan. 14. For more information, visit www.operacity. jp/ag.
