What MAKER & MOSS, LLC does

Maker & Moss, LLC operates as a San Francisco-based interior design studio and curated e-commerce retailer specializing in sustainable, design-forward furniture and home decor. The company runs a Shopify-powered online storefront that aggregates products from a vetted network of artisan makers and manufacturers, including core partners Ethnicraft (Belgium), Gus Modern (Toronto), and American manufacturers LEE Industries, Rowe, and Cisco Home. The catalog spans dining tables, seating, accent tables, storage, outdoor furniture, lighting, ceramics, and accessories, with unit prices ranging from $109 to $7,199. Inventory is organized both by product category and curated lifestyle themes (The Entertainer, The Minimalist, The Entrepreneur, The Naturalist), with an annual promotional event (Gus Modern 20% off, July 16 – August 9) driving seasonal demand.

The company monetizes through three revenue streams: direct-to-consumer product sales via Shopify (one-time purchases), full-service interior design engagements including consultations and project management (professional services), and a Designer Trade Program offering recurring trade pricing, custom upholstery, swatches, and white-glove delivery to interior design professionals. Customer segments are residential homeowners (primary, served via self-serve e-commerce) and interior designers and trade professionals (secondary, served via the Trade Program). Notable design projects include the SF Decorator Showcase 2026 in Pacific Heights and the Neveseno Multi-Family Penthouse in Chicago, both of which function as portfolio and lead-generation assets.

The business is privately held and operated by founder and owner Matt Bissinger, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or institutional backing. Distribution is primarily domestic through the Shopify storefront, with geographic restrictions excluding Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories; the Pacific Heights headquarters at 2800 Van Ness Avenue operates by appointment only. The company relies on direct partnerships with maker brands for inventory and fulfillment rather than maintaining owned warehousing or manufacturing. Go-to-market is content-forward, anchored by The Moss Magazine blog providing design inspiration, maker profiles, and buying guides to drive organic search visibility. No public APIs, mobile applications, AI/ML capabilities, patents, awards, or M&A activity are disclosed.
