Mac Stopa, founder of Massive Design, is an award-winning architect and designer, whose work spans several design disciplines: architecture, interior design, industrial design, graphic design, art and fashion. Massive Design’s clients include, among others, Google, Samsung, BMW, Unilever, Pernod Ricard, Bacardi-Martini, Cargill, AstraZeneca, MasterCard, Credit Suisse, Viacom, PwC and EY.
Mac’s designs emanate from his fascination with mathematics and geometry. His passion for modularity, sculptural shapes and digital art drive him to create modular objects for serial production that introduce innovation to the market and allow the user to interact with and adapt the objects to the required functionality or character of a space. His industrial designs, including furniture, lighting, flooring, fixtures, wall coverings, textiles and other products and finishes, are a hybrid of ideas, technologies and cultures, sometimes mixed in experimental ways. From furniture to apparel, to electric guitars, to building elevations, he often uses energizing bold colors and 3D graphics to design progressive objects that evoke positive emotions.
In the area of industrial design, Mac has designed products for a range of companies including A.S. Création, Bolon, DuPont™,Cappellini, Casali, Casamania, FIAM Italia, Italcementi, Laminam, M2 Carpets, Milliken, Mohawk Group, Mosaico Digitale, NMC, Nowy Styl Group, SIX INCH, Profim and Tonon, among others.

In June 2017 in Chicago, the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) awarded Mac Stopa the IIDA Titan Award, which recognizes significant contributions to the Interior Design profession. In November 2018 in Warsaw, Mac received the prestigious Badge of Honor for Merits for Inventiveness bestowed by the Prime Minister of Poland.
