Join us this coming Saturday, July 13th for our first DESIGN After Hours design opening event | we will be featuring the furniture and lighting work of two Tucson based designers, Jacob Downard and Eli Potter, for the first time | DJ GROOVHAUS will set the mood |
Born and raised in Flagstaff AZ, Jacob Downard (@downarddawg) grew up spending his time exploring his surroundings and experiencing nature in an amplitude of mediums. A strong believer that humans thrive with connections to nature, Jacob is always seeking the next landscape, familiar or unfamiliar. After early experience in various creative realms from fabrication to photography, Jacob entered the B.Arch program to broaden his creative pursuits. Graduating CAPLA in 2022, he is now working as a designer at @dust_architects in Tucson AZ. Continually inspired by nature and the rich lineage of regional design, Jacob is always striving for simple, functional design solutions that express authentic material qualities with considerations of place.
Eli Potter (@whenyougetback) is a Tucson based designer and builder who enjoys attending to interaction and experience with his pieces. Inspired by Japanese and Scandinavian design, Eli continues to develop his interest in working in a range of practices with a diversity of materials.
