Irwin Weiner ASID - The confidence of a masterful interior designer is present on each colorful page of the new book Alberto Pinto: World Interiors (Flammarion, 2012). I could gush about the individual treatments Alberto Pinto has created in the yachts, jets, apartments, and houses pictured in the book - from the Caribbean and Manhattan to Kuwait City - but that would not do justice to Mr. Pinto's thoughtful, inspired, detail-oriented work. But let me leave you with two overall impressions.
It's exciting to see what an unfettered and creative interior designer can accomplish. It's clear that in most cases, budget was no object - only excellence. And it's also clear to me that clients trusted Mr. Pinto to "do his thing" and create spatial masterpieces.
Alberto Pinto really understands his clients and gets into their head. There is no cookie-cutter approach to his interiors. Each is as individual as the space, the setting, and the client. There is no clamor for "The Alberto Pinto Look," which I like ... but rather, he brings out the best in each space for a client.
