Verdict:
Alberto Pinto has a long history of
working with clients across a broad range
of projects and styles – both classic and
modern – from yacht and aircraft interiors
through to corporate spaces and private
homes, and even the occasional castle!
Every aspect of this B737 is about
marrying comfort and luxury. So although
the seats are designed to be plush and
comfy enough to relax in, the overall feel
is clean, simple and timeless.
Brief:
Paris-based Alberto Pinto Interior Design has designed a
sumptuous Boeing 737 interior for a client based in India. The
aircraft was completed by Associated Air Center in Dallas, USA,
and delivered in February this year. The interior was designed to
be “a modern, graphic environment”, with a beige, black and
nickel colour scheme, recurring accents (with saddle topstitch
details on the seats and the black leather cornices) and a silk Tai
Ping carpet with a delicate stripe pattern that unifies the cabin.
Description:
Materials include glossy grey-stained Lolo wood for
cabinetwork, white lead with polished nickel inserts on
horizontal surfaces, and dove-coloured suede for lateral
surfaces and lounge ceilings. The forward lounge features two
TTOL-certified sofas, two passenger seats and a leather-framed
coffee table. American and Italian leathers have been used for
the seats, trimmed with leather piping and saddle topstitching.
A screen is built into the forward bulkhead, while decorative
touches include sculptured chrome lamps. The aft lounge is
dominated by an imposing daybed (finished with hand-woven,
cream-coloured velvet mottled in black and trimmed with black
piping) and a matching coffee table, set against a desk with a
built-in screen. Two facing seats become a bed, while the space
also contains a black leather, three-seat sofa with dove-
coloured piping. The bedroom yields a king-size bed cased
entirely in topstitched black leather, with large chrome drawers.
A flat screen is built into the facing bulkhead. Elsewhere in the
cabin, a dining room accommodates a table for four with seats
in mottled velvet and black leather; the compact galley is
finished with brushed metal and ivory Corian; and the bathroom
features a built-in polished nickel basin under a black marble
