The Story Behind Avista Lighting's Innovative Solutions

David Mozzone: The Visionary Behind Avista Lighting

David Mozzone’s journey into the world of lighting began not as a pursuit of business success, but as a mission to redefine how light shapes spaces. Born into a family of artisans, he developed an early respect for craftsmanship and detail. Yet his vision was forward-looking — to merge traditional artistry with modern innovation and create lighting that inspires both beauty and performance.

In 2010, after years in the lighting industry, David identified a gap in the market: businesses, designers, and retailers were seeking high-quality, designer-inspired fixtures that combined elegance, accessibility, and reliability. This insight led to the founding of Avista Lighting — a company built on craftsmanship, design integrity, and a relentless drive for innovation.

Lighting Manufacturing with Purpose

Under David’s leadership, Avista Lighting has grown from a small design studio into a trusted lighting manufacturer serving partners across Canada and the USA. Unlike mass-produced brands, Avista manufactures its own fixtures, maintaining complete control over design, materials, and quality. Every chandelier, pendant, wall sconce, and flush mount reflects the company’s unwavering commitment to precision and performance.

For lighting stores, Avista offers manufacturer-direct partnerships that provide consistent supply, competitive pricing, and exclusive product lines.
For commercial clients — including hotels, restaurants, offices, and residential developments — Avista delivers durable, design-forward solutions that enhance spaces with lasting impact.
And for custom projects, Avista collaborates with designers, architects, and business owners to create bespoke fixtures that bring unique visions to life.

A Vision Rooted in Craftsmanship and Innovation

David’s approach to design goes beyond aesthetics — it’s about transforming environments and elevating experiences. From the first sketch to the finished fixture, each piece carries the mark of thoughtful engineering and artistic intention. Avista’s collections balance form and function, delivering lighting that is as dependable as it is inspiring.

Today, Avista Lighting stands as a symbol of integrity, creativity, and excellence. David Mozzone’s story is not just about building a successful brand — it’s about building partnerships founded on trust and shared vision.

In an industry where mass production often overshadows artistry, Avista continues to illuminate the path forward — crafting fixtures that empower professionals, inspire designers, and help businesses shine brighter every day.
