Home in Athens
Apartment in Geneva
Home in Athens - whitewashed walls are inlaid with pebbles in a diamond pattern.
The library occupies the left side of the sitting room. A wealth of carefully classified documents is available to the staff on the floor to ceiling oak bookcases.

Alberto Pinto is one the best designer . Thank you for writing about him and to add a link to my post.
ReplyDeleteThe walls with the pebbles? Perfection - I've never seen it before - fabulous. Love the bathroom, top, as well.
ReplyDeleteI love Alberto Pinto. He is one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteHi Melanie
ReplyDeleteThe pictures of the Alberto Pinto fabrics for Pierre Frey you have on your blog posting are fantastic.
Hi Mrs Blandings
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw this bedroom picture I thought that the pebbles were studded nail heads that are so popular now. I had never seen this treatment with rocks before and I think that it is very appropriate for the location of this home which is in Athens.
Hi Julie
ReplyDeleteHe is one of my favourite designers also.
His work oozes and overflows with wealth. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteGreat post - he is a legend! Some great pics there I had not previously seen. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love Alberto Pinto. The home in Athens is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteWow! I want to work for Alberto Pinto! He and his "agency" are Fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Liberty Post
ReplyDeleteHis work does ooze with wealth because he works for some of the richest people in the world.
Hi Suzy
ReplyDeleteYour're right he is a legend and that is a term that I usually associate with someone that is no longer living. So he is a "living legend".
Hi All the Best
ReplyDeleteThe home in Athens is amazing, esp those stone studded walls.
Hi HC
ReplyDeleteI have long coveted his office/agency, but not the fact that he has a staff of 55 to manage.
I love the third image...the chandelier is so unusual..and the wall panel subtle and classy..
ReplyDeletewow! i LOVE the dressing room with the day bed! also the library with the dining room style table in the center of it. When i work i like to have alot of space.
ReplyDeleteHaute indeed. It takes courage and skill to go over the top and still pull off a polished look. While note all of his spaces seem immediately inviting to me (the English castle, for example), he does seem to design a space in context. I expect an English castle to have this level of opulence, and I can see he would decorate a California manse the way I'd like it done. He has an unapologetic way of setting the stage, doesn't he?! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Bhvana
ReplyDeleteYes it is a very interesting dining room. I think the stucco relief wall and the chandelier make the room.
Hi Gee
ReplyDeleteYes the dressing room is so grand. I think it is every woman's dream. And a large table in a library to spread things out on is so practical.
Hi Franki
ReplyDeleteVery well said. I love looking at these rooms because I can just imagine myself in the context of them. It is like he has set a wonderful stage for his clients. I find his work so refreshing, unique and well detailed.
The chandelier and Venetian mirrors of the Castle in England in the top photo is just stunning! Unabashed opulence indeed.
ReplyDeleteHe is so fabulous!!! I just love his style! Thanks for the inspiring photos!
ReplyDeleteHi rnvl
ReplyDeleteI like you description "unabashed opulence". I think you descibed it perfectly.
Hi Crafty Weasel
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment.
Interesting designer, great post, beautiful rooms!
ReplyDeleteThanks Purple
ReplyDeleteThe first picture --- it's just too beautiful. Are all these pictures from the Modern book? That's the one I don't have! Maybe I need to take a look through his other books again, this post SO makes me want to do that!!!!
ReplyDeleteJoni
