What Esrawe Studio does

Esrawe Studio is a multidisciplinary design studio founded in 2003 by Héctor Esrawe in Mexico City, operating across architecture, interior design, furniture design, and temporary installations. The studio serves a diverse client base spanning high-end residential, hospitality (boutique hotels, restaurants), retail and fashion brands, and cultural institutions, with notable commissions for El Palacio de Hierro, High Museum of Art, Casa Dragones, and Tori Tori. Core services include architecture and interior design for residential and commercial projects, custom and limited-edition furniture design (sold through hectoresrawe.com), retail showroom design, and museum-quality temporary installations. The studio's commercial model rests on commissioned project fees, with pricing determined per project scope; complementary revenue comes from limited-edition product sales through e-commerce and exhibition channels.

The studio operates from a renovated 600-square-meter former dance hall in Roma Norte, Mexico City, supported by a team of approximately 30 professionals across architecture, industrial design, rendering, model making, graphic design, and administration. Esrawe maintains a global project footprint spanning Mexico, the United States (ARCA Wynwood in Miami), Spain, Denmark, South Korea, Canada, France, Italy, the UAE, Turkey, Costa Rica, and China, with regular participation in international exhibitions including Art Basel, Zona Maco, and Design Week Mexico. Héctor Esrawe has co-founded complementary ventures (EWE, VISSIO, MASA Galería) promoting collectible Mexican design, and is a founding partner of the perfume brand Xinú. The studio is privately held, founder-owned, with no external funding, and has accumulated a continuous stream of design awards from 2014 through 2025, including Dezeen Awards 2020 Studio of the Year, Red Dot Best of the Best, Prix Versailles recognition for Tori Tori Santa Fe, and an Honorary AIA Fellow designation in 2024.
