"The ultimate goal of an architect is to create a paradise. Every house, every product of architecture should be a fruit of our endeavour to build an earthly paradise for people." (Alvar Aalto, 1957) Finnish architect Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is universally acknowledged as a landmark figure of 20th century architecture and design; ranking alongside other Modernist masters such as Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. This chair was launched at an exhibition in Barbican Art Gallery, February 21st in 2007. It is the first major retrospective of work by Alvar Aalto to be held in the UK. The exhibition is designed and curated by leading Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, renowned for his original use of materials such as paper tubes to create remarkable structures. The exhibition explores themes linking these two influential architects and demonstrates how they share an organic approach to design as well as an aspiration for a humanitarian goal in architecture. Aalto was as concerned with the interiors of his buildings as he was with the structure. The exhibition also showcases his wide-ranging product designs including his famous stacking stool and other furniture pieces, as well as glassware, light fittings and textiles. Many of these items continue to be manufactured today by the renowned Finnish design company Artek, founded by Aalto in 1935. Aalto admired the dedication to individual craftsmanship and sensitivity to natural materials that he found in Japanese architecture from the 1930s. 60 years on, this influence comes full circle in the work of Shigeru Ban who acknowledges a huge debt to Aalto?s organic approach to design, sharing his ambition to harmonise buildings with their environment. Ban is famous for his experimental use of natural materials such as cardboard, bamboo and wood. Seminal works featured in the exhibition include his early furniture designs, Carta Collection (1998) and L-Unit Chairs (1993) as well as his ground-breaking works including Paper Log House, Kobe (1995), Furniture House , Yamanashi (1995), Japan Pavilion, Hanover Expo (2000) and his recent design for the New Pompidou Centre in Metz, scheduled to open in 2008. Ban began to use paper tubes as structural elements in 1986 when he designed an Aalto exhibition in Toyko. His subsequent experiments using recycled cardboard broke the conventional notion of a building material. The exhibition also showcases his revolutionary approach to building temporary shelters with paper tubes to house the displaced victims in the aftermath of the 1995 Kobe Earthquake. This echoes Aalto?s humane approach to architecture, most evident in his designs for prefabricated houses made in response to the World War II housing crisis. Both architects combine traditional materials with modern technology and experimented with the idea to provide an individual human touch to pre-fabricated housing structures. The exhibition is designed and co-curated by Shigeru Ban, in collaboration with Juhani Pallasmaa, former director of the Museum of Finnish Architecture, Helsinki, and Tomoko Sato from Barbican Art Gallery.

Lyhty Tuulastukseen käytettiin 1700-luvulla palavaa tervasta, jota poltettiin tuulaskourassa. Koura korvattiin myöhemmin öljylyhdyllä ja viimeisten vuosikymmenien aikana sähköisellä keinovalolla. Nykyään myös infrapunakiikareilla on omat käyttäjänsä, mutta vasta Jahtiseuran lyhty voidaan hyväksyä oikeana innovaationa. Jahtiseuran kehittämä lyhty on osoitus huippumodernin teknologian astumisesta historialliseen kuvaan. 13 LEDin valo päihittää aikaisemmat lyhdyt valotehollaan ja suunnattavuudellaan. Se valaisee saaliin ja ympäröivän luonnon luonnollisena ja LED-lyhty on asennettavissa kaikkiin markkinoilla oleviin venemalleihin. Jahtiseuran LED-lyhty siirtää tuulastuksen uudelle vuosisadalle. Tuulastaminen Kaksi ihmistä, järvi, pimeys, vene, atrain ja lyhty. Nämä ovat tuulastuksen elementit. Tuulastaminen on tunnetuista kalastusmuodoistamme kenties jaloin. Tämä historiallinen kalastusmuoto on säilynyt vuosisatoja lähes muuttumattomana ja välineetkin noudattavat perinteistä linjaa. Lajin hienous ei piile saaliin määrässä, vaan nyt mitataan kalastajan todelliset taidot: nopeus, tarkkuus, oveluus ja äärimmäinen rauhallisuus. Tuulastus on tarkkuutta vaativa yölaji. Kellon kiertyessä yöhön ja auringon laskiessa horisonttiin lähtevät miehet hämärään. He hakevat vajasta välineensä, nousevat veneeseen, sytyttävät valon ja aloittavat jahdin. Vene lipuu hitaasti ja äänettömästi matalikossa toisen miehen huovatessa, toisen väijyessä saalista veneen perässä. Vain hiljalleen siirtyvä valopiste kertoo äärimmäisestä jännityksestä rannan tuntumassa. Soutaja aistii atrainmiehen eleistä ja asennoista milloin vene kulkee oikeaa vauhtia oikeaan paikkaan. Pimeydessä ei kuulu mitään ääniä kunnes saalistaja näkee saaliin. Vähävetinen ranta on ihanteellinen paikka hauelle yöpymiseen. Järviemme peto tuntuu leijuvan paikallaan ja nukkuvan. Atrain iskeytyy salamannopeasti veteen. Kala ei ehdi reagoimaan miehen iskuun, vaan peto muuttuu saaliiksi. Atraimen isku on niin luja, että kohde kuolee välittömästi. Yön ensimmäinen kala tuntuu hienoimmalta, mutta saalistus jatkuu. Saalistajan on nopeasti saatava adrenaliinitaso palautumaan ja saavutettava rauhallinen sekä tarkkaavainen mielentila uutta iskua varten. Tuulastaminen on hieno ja jalo taitomiesten kalastusmuoto. Tappavaa taidetta, jossa korostuvat miehen luonteenpiirteet ja lujaotteisuus palkitaan.
