Book Review: “Today” – Alberto Pinto
Comments (0) A recently published design book “Alberto Pinto Today” is one of the season’s best. This is the latest book by the renown designer from Paris. His interior architecture and his graphic backgrounds contribute a masculine style characteristic to his work that is “at once classic and modern”. He was born in Morocco and the Middle Eastern aesthetic touches his designs as well.

I love this look, clean and strong. Right now, I am working on a mantle design that is inspired by this photo. I like it that much.

A graphic flourish of black squares on a white gold ground
These strong lines in combination with very thin lines and added with the bronze ellipses work very well together.
And this, my friend, is why Alberto Pinto is my new, not-so-secret, mad crush. I’ve warned my husband that, for right now, I am in love with another man (and his amazing designs!).
