A New York studiofor buildingspeople live in.

Eduardo Acero Rodriguez is an award-winning interior and furniture designer with over 16 years of international experience spanning Colombia and New York City. His work bridges interior architecture, furniture design, and industrial design, creating spaces and objects that are defined by timeless aesthetics, refined craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of how people experience the built environment.

Born in Bogota, Colombia, Eduardo earned his degree in Industrial Design from Universidad Autonoma before beginning his professional career designing interiors and custom furniture. His passion for design was shaped early through hands-on woodworking experience in his family's carpentry workshop and by a lifelong admiration for architecture inspired by his brother, an architect. These experiences established a design philosophy rooted in material honesty, precision, and craftsmanship.

In 2016, Eduardo relocated to New York City, where he has spent the past decade designing luxury residential developments, hospitality-inspired amenity spaces, lobbies, and bespoke interiors throughout Manhattan and the greater New York metropolitan area. His multidisciplinary background allows him to seamlessly integrate architecture, interiors, lighting, furniture, and custom millwork into cohesive and sophisticated environments.

Wood remains the foundation of Eduardo's creative language. Inspired by nature, Colombian landscapes, architecture, and sculpture, he explores the emotional relationship between materials, light, and form. His work balances contemporary elegance with functional innovation, producing designs that are both visually striking and technically feasible.

Eduardo's commitment to excellence has earned him international recognition through three prestigious A' Design Awards. In 2025, his Renzo Accent Chair received the Iron A' Design Award, recognizing its innovative interpretation of solid wood craftsmanship and contemporary furniture design. In 2026, he received two Bronze A' Design Awards for the Lagoon Concept Coffee Table, inspired by the geography of Colombia's Guatape Lake, and the AB Accent Chair, a sculptural seating design that combines ergonomic comfort with refined material expression. These awards reflect his dedication to creating original, meaningful, and internationally recognized design solutions.

Beyond his professional practice, Eduardo continues to develop his personal furniture brand, Ace+Ro, where he explores collectible furniture and original design concepts that celebrate craftsmanship, innovation, and cultural identity. His long-term vision is to build an internationally recognized design studio where architecture, interiors, and furniture come together through a singular design language defined by authenticity, material excellence, and enduring beauty.
