Lovett Deconstruction & Salvage
With brilliant service and a passion for preservation, Lovett considers the work of deconstruction to be an artform. Rather than demolishing structures, we are invested in the craft of thoughtful dismantling so historic lumber and other materials can be diverted from landfills and given new life. We are committed to operating sustainably and to doing our part to support a circular economy. That’s why all materials that are saved in our deconstruction projects are either reused onsite, donated locally, or are transported to our lumber and salvage shop to be prepped for sale to the community. The contractors, DIYers, and artists who shop reclaimed and then reintegrate the materials into the built environment help bring our work full circle.
SBD Agency
As the creative agency behind the Arciform brand and producer of Iconic Magazine, we are Mom-built and powered by our team of long-time creative pros in branding, design, writing and campaign strategy—whether online/mobile or traditional. We respect you by listening deeply to your needs, concerns, and goals—and how you want to reach them. We communicate honestly and clearly.
When SBD Agency was charged with conjuring up a unique marketing vehicle for Arciform, we thought... ah, heck, let’s just not market them.
Instead, let’s tell inspiring stories about them and their work. Iconic Magazine was born! Iconic doesn’t look like marketing. It just tells great stories about fabulous remodeling jobs done by cool folks. Everybody loves stories. So readership grows and grows. And calls to Arciform from people who “love what they saw in Iconic” are growing too. That’s a happy ending!
SBD, the mom-run marketing agency of seasoned industry pros has a few decades of tricks up our sleeves. Some new, some tried and true. We’d love to get together with you. Learn your unique story. And tell the world. So we can create some happy endings for you, too.

We have a deep passion for things that have been made with care. We believe old things are old for a reason. The characteristics of pieces that survive a society of “throw away and get a new one” can often speak for themselves.
The premier resource for decorative lighting, architectural lighting and ceiling fans from the most influential designers in the world.
Our designers spend months developing every piece at our headquarters in Portland, Oregon—pairing designforward intention with a global perspective, made to inspire homes of any era.
Our lighting and hardware are crafted from weighty solid brass and handcrafted bronze materials—available in exclusive finishes that make it easy to mix or match from room to room.
60% of our workforce is made up of immigrants and refugees, and we have established worker wellbeing programs at our factory to support them. In addition to lighting, we design and produce a wide range of premium products: hardware, plumbing, furniture, rugs, mirrors, and more—for homes of every style.
Circularity is in our DNA. Reclaiming vintage pieces is how we began. It’s still at the core of our business and a big part of how we are moving into the future.
We restore 3,000+ antique and vintage pieces a year— keeping them from landfills.
For designs that we can’t manufacture in-house, we partner with craftspeople, sourcing thoughtfully when domestic manufacturing is not an option. We care deeply about the impact our business makes and we strive to bring transparency to our customers.
