History

Alberto Pinto was born in Casablanca to Argentine parents and was surrounded with diverse cultures. He attended "Ecole de Louvre" in Paris and then moved to New York to start a photography agency.[2] His photography agency specialized in decoration and interior design. This focus on design led Pinto to take up interior design almost four decades ago.

The 17th century private residence at the Place des Victoires in Paris was the home of Pinto's interior design and decoration agency. The agency consists of 60 people who work on the design of large scale and atypical places, such as private residences, corporations, hotels, yachts, and private jets. Notable projects include the Oceanco's Yacht Y708 and the Seaside Hotel Palm Beach, in Maspalomas.

In addition to interior design, Pinto had his own home collection, complete with furniture, tableware, table linen, and home accessories. Pinto also collaborated with many home and tabletop manufacturers such as Raynaud, Pierre Frey, THG, Ercuis, Aït Manos,[3] and D. Porthault.[4]
