César Giraldo’s design journey began in his native Colombia, where he developed an early fascination with color and form, which to date are the foundational elements of his design. As the Founder and Principal Designer of César Giraldo Design, located in West Hollywood, CA, he oversees a diverse portfolio of residential, commercial, and hospitality projects both nationally and internationally.
His aesthetic vision is a harmonious blend of luxurious, contemporary designs infused with the timeless craftsmanship of the past. This juxtaposition inspires him to create interiors that are both innovative and enduring, reflecting a unique dialogue between old and new.
With a keen eye for detail and a poetic sensibility, César curates environments that exude elegance and elevate the human spirit. Each project is approached with a deep understanding of his clients' individuality, resulting in spaces that authentically reflect their personalities and lifestyles.
Beyond interiors, César's creative vision extends to furniture and product design, with notable collaborations including the Medellín outdoor furniture line with Tidelli; the Straight Lines Unexpected Curves rug collection with Mehraban, and a leather collection with LeBravo, all launched to critical acclaim. Furthermore, his recent venture into lighting design, highlighted by the award-winning Gusto capsule collection in collaboration with Studio M Lighting, underscores his remarkable talent for creating visually striking designs.
César's outstanding contributions to the design industry have been recognized with prestigious awards, including the Stars of Design Award from the Pacific Design Center in 2023. He was previously honored as one of the Top 25 designers in Los Angeles by the Los Angeles Times in 2022 and received accolades from the CA Home + Design Awards in 2019. He has been featured in Architectural Digest, California Home + Design, California Homes, Casa, Casa Vogue, Design Hunter, Dwell, Elle Decor, Flaunt, Forbes Global Properties, Interiors, Luxury Home Magazine, among others.
Driven by a desire to make a positive impact, César founded the Espiritu Santo Project Foundation in Medellín, Colombia, providing art programs and education to at-risk youth—an initiative close to his heart.
