CEO OF MAVISTEN EDITION, MICHAEL J. ALMODOVA STANDS WITH THE LIGHT BULBS HE HELPED DESIGN. THE “EMBERLINE” LIGHT BULB HAS A ROMANTIC, ORANGEY COLOR, OFFERING A DIF-FERENT FEELING FROM THE TYPICAL, “TOO-BRIGHT-AND-COLD-LIGHTING” OF TRADITIONAL LED LIGHTS.
MAVISTEN EDITION (mavistenedition.com) crafts unbelievably beautiful lamps and other light fixtures that hearken back to the atomic era. Eichler homes, in particular, are some of this company’s bigger touchstones for designing MCM-inspired lighting.
