BIGMESS partners with individuals, studios, and brands to realize their most provocative ambitions.
Through memorable storytelling, newfound connections and strategies, BIGMESS fosters generative creative practices and businesses.
The namesake design studio founded by Alexis Tingey and Ginger Gordon, who met
during their studies in furniture design at the Rhode Island School of Design. The studio is based in New York City and its practice is one of research and material exploration from carved wooden forms and textured textiles to inlay and stained glass. Alexis & Ginger’s objects are embedded with moments of the past and share stories through abstraction and composition of materials.

CANOA was founded at the end of 2019 by Federico Negro and a team of industry veterans who sa an opportunity to streamline the processes for design, sourcing and asset management of furniture to drastically reduce waste. The platform is the first AI-assisted, collaborative online tool for interior designers to create and shar data-rich mood boards, layouts, and product schedules with their teams. CANOA is made up of a team of designers, technologists, architects, data scientists, and engineers united by a mission to make design more widely accessible.

Matt Byrd is a Raleigh-based sculptor whose abstract stone carvings express the wondrous ephemera of nature. Working primarily in found granite, his
interlocking configurations — featuring stones painstakingly chiseled and textured for hours by hand — show his eye for pleasing proportions and delicate balance. For Byrd, solid construction is key, as is maintaining an experimental approach to the beloved craft of hand chiseling. His hefty dolerite stones, with their striking bluish-gray reveal, show his flair for embracing the natural peculiarities of any chosen material.
