The Boyd Lighting Story
Born of an era when modernist sensibilities were becoming a predominant part of American culture, Boyd Lighting bridged the gap between streamlined (often mass-produced) industrial designs and fine craftsmanship. A luxury brand exclusive to the United States, family-owned Boyd Lighting opened in San Francisco in 1921 as a custom lighting manufacturer that catered to architects and interior designers. For Boyd Lighting fixtures, quality workmanship and artisanship is on a pedestal, creating sophisticated and inheritable fixtures that stand the test of time.

Whether it be the brief stint contributing to the war effort or the modern day focus on energy-efficient fixtures, Boyd has been able to evolve without losing its clean and classic aesthetic. Today, the Boyd line brings us luxurious wall lighting and pendants that make a statement anywhere they are placed.

The result is seamless metal frames and materials polished with jeweler quality (i.e. the use of “jeweler’s rouge” in the final stage of polishing).
