Thank you for celebrating with us

In the spring, Boyd Lighting, a family-run San Francisco legacy of exquisitely crafted luxury luminaires, and several design collaborators joined Archetype to celebrate the debut of this extraordinary new exhibit featuring many of Boyd’s most iconic and timeless modern releases including fixtures from their most recent collections plus Boyd’s new Lily series.

An Exclusive Experience

The installation features more than a dozen distinct Boyd lighting creations, including new releases and custom configurations and modifications. You cannot see many of these fixtures on display anywhere else, and there certainly isn’t a collection of Boyd Lighting luminaires like this in any other space at this time. Schedule a Tour.

More About Boyd

Boyd Lighting is a fourth-generation company dedicated to creating uncompromisingly beautiful, artisan-made lighting.

Founded in San Francisco in 1921, Boyd has spent the last century building a legacy of honest, enduring design. With premium materials and a made-to-order ethos, Boyd’s lighting is built by craftspeople who care about every detail using time-honored techniques to cut, solder, turn and hand produce every piece so that each one bears the loyal imprint of its maker.

Their name is synonymous with quality, timeless sophistication and beauty. Don’t miss your chance to experience these extraordinary fixtures in person: Schedule a Tour.

One A’s sleek, stylish aesthetic and undeniable quality will draw you in. Their clever design, versatility and integrated solutions will make you a lifelong fan of this Danish line.

Perfect for corporate lounges, hospitality, high-end residential, restaurant and luxury retail design projects, and other spaces that call for timelessly extraordinary modern lighting. Schedule a Tour.

 

Archetype’s Studio

Our studio’s 1,800 square feet of open gallery space was designed to be the perfect canvas for pop-up viewing opportunities. Clouds mounted to high ceilings in our lobby area are spaced to allow an uncluttered, 360° view of suspended luminaires, showing off both the fixture and the affixing hardware. Our corridor area is lined on one side with spaces that allow specifiers to view pendants and wall-mounted luminaires up close; the opposite side is designed to showcase recessed fixtures at a range close enough to appreciate the hardware, but roomy enough to allow meaningful observation of light.

Our studio decked out for a past pop-up that featured Lambert & Fils and No. 8 Lighting.

We’re conveniently located in the Vermont Center in San Francisco’s Design District near major freeway exits. Parking is easy, abundant and free to visitors.
