Alberto Pinto, who passed away a few months ago at the age of 69, has been one of the designers of most famous interiors from the second half of the 80th century, whose Paris-based studio employed up to XNUMX collaborators and numerous other artisans who worked on the realization of its projects. His unclassifiable style has been defined at times as eclecticism opulent, comparing its creativity to the shape of an orchid: Simple but sophisticated, refined and majestic.
In its interiors, comfort prevails, the combination of classic and modern furniture and objects imbued by the spirit of very diverse cultures; His greatness as an interior designer was in the art of the invisible: He chose to create "scenes" that were surprising to the visitor but natural in their inhabitants, studying their uniqueness and needs without influencing their personal codes; Ultimately only enjoyment counted in time once the project was finished and the way in which the space was occupied and lived.
One of his most famous projects is an apartment on Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro, where he developed a mix of tropicalism and modernism using noble woods and lacquers, white backgrounds and flashes of color, getting to personally design some of the furniture. In 2010 he decided to develop his own firm "Pinto Paris" to produce and market various collections of furniture, accessories and household items that had been created for former clients and were in great demand.
Their orientalist references they have been expressed in many of his interiors: Raised between Paris and Casablanca, the contrast of both Mediterraneans largely shapes his aesthetic experience. Moroccan textures, Byzantine symbols and Indian colors populate some of its decorations with truly virtuosic finishes.
Pinto also became well known for designing the interiors of some yachts and private jetsIt was even hired by the Airbus company to decorate the ACJ319 model, of which we can see part of the restaurant and the relaxation area, where the homogeneity of the upholstery and the tables are enlivened with a patterned carpet inspired by airport terminals.
There are several dedicated posts to its decorative iconography and some of its stylistic virtues, being considered for decades the paradigm of the perfect host in all kinds of events due to its exquisite taste in the art of dressing the table. A clear example of the connection between art, interior design and joie de vivre that fills all of his work.
