About
Who we are
Rodrigo Izquierdo Design Studio is a luxury interior design and interior architecture practice with offices in Milan and Ibiza, specialising in the full design and renovation of five-star and five-star GL hotels — adapting to the scale and specific brief of each client — as well as high-end retail environments and bespoke private residences across Europe.
Founded in 2017 by Rodrigo Izquierdo — with over two decades of experience in the luxury hospitality sector — the studio brings together creative rigour, deep material culture and a precise understanding of how design performs within complex hospitality briefs. We work at every scale, from the spatial strategy of a full hotel renovation to the design of a custom door handle.
Creativity and functionality are not opposites. They are the starting point.
What we do
We design and deliver luxury interiors for five-star hotels, private residences and retail environments — always with the same level of care, precision and creative ambition.
Hotel Design & Renovation We work with hotel ownership groups, asset managers and hospitality consultancies on the full interior design of new hotel projects and the renovation of existing five-star and five-star GL properties — always calibrated to the scale and brief of the client. From public areas and guestrooms to suites and back-of-house, we manage the entire design process — concept, technical development, FF&E coordination and construction supervision.
Custom Furniture & FF&E Design Bespoke furniture and product design are at the core of our work. We design custom pieces — from sofas and armchairs to wall panels and lighting — and coordinate full FF&E packages tailored to each project’s brand identity and budget.
Creative Direction & Design Consultancy We offer creative direction and design advisory services to hotel groups, developers and brands seeking a strategic design partner at concept or repositioning stage.
PROJECTS & SERVICES
Our current portfolio includes five-star hotel renovation projects in Milan, Sorrento, Lisbon and Taormina, alongside completed commissions such as the common areas of the Four Seasons Hotel Milan, developed in collaboration with Patricia Urquiola Studio.
In parallel to interior design, the studio offers a growing custom furniture collection and product design services, with pieces developed specifically for the hospitality and high-end residential market.
Bio
Rodrigo Izquierdo: Interior Designer and Creative Director
Rodrigo Izquierdo is a Spanish interior designer and creative director based in Milan, with over twenty years of experience in luxury hotel interior design, high-end retail and residential interior architecture. His work is defined by a precise and rigorous approach — one that balances spatial intelligence, material research and a deeply curated aesthetic sensibility.
He graduated with honours in Interior Design from EINA, Escola d’Art i Disseny in Barcelona in 2001, and began his career at Sandra Tarruella & Isabel Lopez Studio, contributing to award-winning hospitality and luxury residential projects across Spain. In 2005, he relocated to Milan to join Patricia Urquiola’s studio, where he spent thirteen years growing to the role of Creative Supervisor of the architecture department — leading multidisciplinary teams on landmark hotel renovation and interior design projects for some of the world’s most prestigious hotel groups, including Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, Marriott and W Hotels, as well as a wide range of independent five-star and five-star GL properties across Europe. This extensive exposure across the full spectrum of global luxury hospitality gave him a 360-degree understanding of the sector — from creative vision and brand standards to technical delivery and client relations.
In 2016, he founded Rodrigo Izquierdo Design Studio, a luxury hotel interior design and interior architecture practice with offices in Milan and Ibiza, specialising in the full design of new hotel projects and the renovation of five-star and five-star GL properties — always adapting to the scale and specific brief of each client. The studio works directly with hotel ownership groups, asset managers and hospitality consultancies, with custom furniture design and FF&E coordination at the core of every project. Notable commissions include the common areas of the Four Seasons Hotel Milan, designed in collaboration with Patricia Urquiola Studio, alongside current five-star hotel renovation projects in Milan, Sorrento, Lisbon and Taormina.
Each project begins with a close reading of context, client identity and investment brief — whether a historic palazzo in Italy, a coastal resort in Spain or a city hotel in Portugal. From spatial strategy to the detail of a bespoke door handle, every scale is resolved with the same rigour and creative clarity. The result is spaces that perform — commercially, experientially and aesthetically — and that endure well beyond the moment of opening.
