The Dune Sideboard by Pinto recalls a reclining monolith. This “titanic” design is a technical and artisanal feat. The texture of the extraordinary slab of walnut continues to gleam beneath the varnish, whilst delicate inserts of blond straw marquetry create an undulating pattern reminiscing a dune landscape. Brass and bronze punctuate and ground the “monument,” creating shapes that evoke seashells, horn shells, and amulets left on the sand. The interior, lacquered in a vibrant shade of jade green, reveals the objects it contains endlessly reflected in the mirrors that line it.
Born in Casablanca in 1943, Alberto Pinto left his cosmopolitan hometown to attend the prestigious Ecole du Louvre in Paris. His career took off in the late sixties in New York, where he became a famous photographer for lifestyle magazines. Whilst redecorating his Manhattan apartment – where he hosted countless, memorable parties – he realized that interior decoration was his true calling. The apartment make-over was a sensation, and in no time Alberto Pinto became the go-to interior decorator in town. Fifty years on, the Alberto Pinto agency has completed over 500 prestigious projects all over the world. The founder sadly passed away in 2012, but his legacy lives on through a talented, dedicated team of architects and designers.
