Jero Ezquerro makes furniture and objects that explore how people connect to one another through rituals, materials, and making. Whether people gather around them to drink, make music, or simply sit together, the interaction itself becomes part of the object. Drawing from traditional craft, ritual, and material knowledge, he does not intend to recreate the past, but to explore how these histories can continue to shape contemporary life. Born in Mexico City, Jero is trained as an industrial designer at CENTRO University and is currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in Furniture Design at the Rhode Island School of Design. His recent research collaboration with Architects Emily Ezquerro and Sam Scheffer was shown at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale. 

Previous work has been shown at:

• RISD Furniture Triennial (2026)
• RISD Furniture Biennial (2025)
• Venice Architecture Biennale (2025)
• Territorio Galeria (2024)
• Zona MACO (2018, 2023)
• Design Week Mexico (2018, 2019, 2022, 2023)

The studio works with a small network of artisans — a third-generation wood-turner in upstate New York, a ceramicist in Kyoto, a sand-caster in Providence — whose hands know more than any drawing can hold. Collaboration is not a feature of the work; it is the work. The studio's role is to listen, to draw, to restrain, and to insist on the long version.

We are uninterested in trends. We are uninterested in volume. We are interested in objects that, fifty years from now, will not need to be explained — that will read as inevitable, even to someone who never knew the studio's name. This is a slow, scholarly practice. It is built to outlast us.
