Rejuvenation is an American manufacturer and direct marketer of light fixtures and hardware. The company manufactures most of their lighting in Portland, Oregon. Williams-Sonoma, Inc. acquired the company in November 2011.[1]
The company began in 1977 as an architectural salvage shop in a former saloon in North Portland. The founder, Jim Kelly, began the business with $1,000 and his interest in architectural salvage. When business was slow, Kelly would restore vintage light fixtures to working order.[2]
As demand for the fixtures grew, Kelly began manufacturing reproduction vintage lighting in a Portland factory and selling it nationally through a mail-order catalog. A website was added in 1997, followed by a store in Seattle in 2004,[3] and a Los Angeles store located in the Helms Bakery buildings in late 2011,[4] along with a Berkeley store in 2012.[5] Rejuvenation was acquired by Williams-Sonoma in 2011.[6]
Rejuvenation is a major U.S. manufacturer of reproduction lighting and house parts.[7] The company has declared a commitment to green manufacturing[8] and support for livable communities.[9]
