Mavisten Edition

Is an exploration of form, light, and atmosphere—where Mid-Century Modern design meets the effortless elegance of California coastal living. Each piece is inspired by the golden pause of twilight, when natural light fades, interiors glow, and a space takes on new character.

Our design language draws from the grace of vintage silhouettes—spanning from turn-of-the-century refinement to the sculptural boldness of postmodernism—reinterpreted with a modern sensibility. The result: lighting that is both timeless and distinctly contemporary.

At the core of every Mavisten Edition creation is a dedication to sustainability. Our custom-designed bulbs unite aesthetic integrity with environmental responsibility, marrying beauty with conscious craftsmanship.

This is lighting designed not just to illuminate, but to elevate.

Founders

Mavisten Edition was founded in 2018 by Michael Almodova-Sorensen and Eric Hsieh.

Michael’s passion for design began early, shaped by inventive influences from his father, an airplane mechanic in the U.S. Air Force, and his grandfather, who worked on the Union Pacific Railroad.

At just eight years old, he discovered his love for lighting when his father taught him how to wire and solder, sparking a lifelong fascination with craftsmanship and engineering. This curiosity led him to earn a degree in Product Design and Engineering from Stanford University, laying the foundation for his design career.

With over 20 years of industry experience, Michael now leads the Mavisten Edition design team, guiding their shared mission to celebrate the magic of light through thoughtful, contemporary design.
