Phillip Jacobson has practiced architecture in Seattle for forty years. He was a partner in, and for twenty years design director of, TRA, a large multi-disciplinary firm renowned for deft and
effective design of large architectural and urban projects, both domestic and international. Throughout the years, however, Jacobson has also continually engaged in the design of furniture and
lighting fixtures for commercial production, and from the outset of his professional career he has designed jewelry and home accessories for friends and family. This "other" realm of design
evidences Jacobson's use of timeless structural and formal concepts. For the architect, this realm has been an exciting exploration; it is the subject of this book.
