2. Executive Company Overview

PINTO, historically known as Cabinet Alberto Pinto and Alberto Pinto Interior Design, is a Paris-based interior architecture and design studio with documented activity in private aviation, yachting, residential interiors and hospitality. Founded by Alberto Pinto and associated with the year 1970, the studio has developed bespoke interiors for large VIP aircraft including Airbus Corporate Jets, Boeing Business Jets and long-range business jets. Its current headquarters are at 11 rue d’Aboukir in Paris. (LinkedIn)

Within business aviation, the firm operates principally as a design specialist rather than an aircraft operator, completion center or manufacturer. Its role can encompass cabin concept development, spatial planning, interior architecture, materials and finishes, furniture concepts, decorative detailing and collaboration with completion organizations responsible for engineering, certification, manufacture and installation.

PINTO’s current official project portfolio continues to maintain a dedicated Aviation category and specifically identifies projects involving an ACJ320neo, Gulfstream G550 and Airbus A319CJ. (Pinto)

The company’s most extensively documented aviation projects include a private Boeing Business Jet 747-8i completed by AMAC Aerospace and designed by Alberto Pinto, as well as Airbus Corporate Jet work. Tai Ping independently identifies Alberto Pinto as interior designer for the BBJ 747-8i and AMAC Aerospace as its completion organization. (Taiping Carpets)

Contemporary ownership and creative leadership have changed from the original founder-era structure. Alberto Pinto died in 2012, the studio subsequently operated under Linda Pinto, and Fahad Hariri acquired/took control of the business in 2020. Current 2026 reporting describes Hariri as PINTO’s owner and creative director. (Vogue Arabia)

4. Services & Capabilities

Primary Services

VIP Aircraft Interior Design

PINTO maintains aviation as a dedicated project discipline and documents work across Airbus Corporate Jets, Gulfstream aircraft and other large VIP aircraft. (Pinto)

Aircraft Interior Architecture

The company’s aviation work includes the architectural organization of cabins, circulation, passenger spaces and private zones within the physical and regulatory constraints of an aircraft.

Cabin Layout and Space Planning

Documented projects incorporate bedrooms, lounges, dining areas, offices, bathrooms, crew areas and other private spaces depending on aircraft size and owner requirements. Architectural Digest documented an ACJ319 project containing highly individualized cabin arrangements, including residential-style amenities adapted for aviation. (Architectural Digest)

Interior Concept Development

PINTO develops the creative direction, aesthetic language, furniture concepts, materials, surface treatments and decorative environment for customized aircraft.

Materials and Finish Specification

Aircraft projects have incorporated veneers, leather, fabrics, carpets, metals, stone-like finishes and specialized decorative surfaces that must ultimately comply with aviation engineering and certification requirements.

Custom Furniture and Decorative Design

The studio’s wider practice includes furniture, decorative objects and tableware in addition to spatial design. (Pinto)

Residential Interior Design

Current PINTO activity encompasses residential projects internationally. (Pinto)

Yacht Interior Design

Yachting remains a dedicated PINTO project category alongside aviation, residential and hospitality. (Pinto)

Hospitality Interior Design

PINTO also undertakes hospitality environments.

Specialized Capabilities

Documented or reasonably inherent capabilities include:

  • VIP and VVIP aircraft cabin design
  • Business-airliner interior concept development
  • Cabin zoning and passenger-space planning
  • Owner-suite and bedroom design

Gulfstream G550 — listed in current official portfolio
Bombardier Global 6000 — third-party documented historical work
Boeing 737-700 / BBJ-family aircraft — third-party documented historical work

PrivateJetia should avoid extrapolating these examples into general authorization or expertise across all models produced by the respective OEMs.

15. Strategic Partnerships

AMAC Aerospace

The strongest documented business-aviation relationship in the reviewed evidence is with AMAC Aerospace.

For the private BBJ 747-8i, Tai Ping identifies:

Aircraft: Boeing Business Jet 747-8i
Completion: AMAC Aerospace
Interior Design: Alberto Pinto (Taiping Carpets)

This establishes a clear designer/completion-center relationship on a significant VIP aircraft project.

Comlux America

In 2016, Comlux selected Alberto Pinto Design together with DesignQ, Unique Aircraft and Winch Design to create design concepts for next-generation Airbus ACJneo and Boeing BBJ MAX 8 cabins. (Comlux)

Tai Ping

Tai Ping supplied aviation carpeting associated with documented Alberto Pinto aircraft interiors, including the BBJ 747-8i and Airbus A319 projects. (Taiping Carpets)

Airbus / Boeing / Gulfstream

PINTO has designed interiors on aircraft manufactured by these OEMs. This should not be interpreted as an official OEM authorization unless specifically documented.

16. Key Differentiators

1. Experience spanning conventional business jets and very large VIP aircraft

The portfolio includes aircraft from the Gulfstream G550 through Airbus Corporate Jets to a Boeing 747-8i, giving the firm documented exposure to dramatically different cabin scales. (Pinto)

2. Large VIP-aircraft design experience

The BBJ 747-8i project demonstrates involvement in one of the most complex categories of privately configured aircraft interiors.

3. Cross-disciplinary luxury design practice

PINTO works across aviation, yachts, residences and hospitality rather than operating solely as an aviation design studio. (Pinto)

4. Long-established design heritage

The brand traces its practice to 1970, giving it more than five decades of design history. (LinkedIn)

5. Collaboration with technical completion organizations

Documented programs demonstrate interaction with completion specialists such as AMAC Aerospace and Comlux.

6. Bespoke rather than standardized cabin design

Published projects show highly individualized cabin layouts and decorative approaches rather than standardized production interiors.

7. Ability to translate residential design language into certified aircraft environments

The aviation work adapts residential-style spaces, materials and craftsmanship to weight, safety and certification constraints intrinsic to aircraft completion.
