Rejuvenation began in 1977 as an architectural salvage shop in a former saloon in North Portland. Jim Kelly, who still owns the privately held company, began the business with $1,000 and an interest in architectural salvage. When business was slow, Kelly rebuilt vintage light fixtures.[2]
Demand for the fixtures grew, and soon Kelly began manufacturing reproduction lighting in his Portland factory and selling it nationally through a mail-order catalog. A website was added in 1997, a store in Seattle, Washington that launched in 2004,[3] and a Los Angeles store located in the Helms Bakery buildings in late 2011.
Today, Rejuvenation is America's largest manufacturer of authentic reproduction lighting and house parts[4]. Additionally, the company is known for its commitment to green manufacturing[5] and its support for livable communities[6].
