The Parisian Who Understood Scale

Alberto Pinto (1943–2012) created ALFA NERO's 1,250 square metres of interior living space. Born in Casablanca to a family of Sephardic Jewish heritage, Pinto became one of the most celebrated interior designers of his generation.

Design Philosophy

Pinto approached ALFA NERO not as a yacht interior but as a series of residential spaces that happen to float. His interiors blend Pop Art and Art Deco influences with works by Roy Lichtenstein, Joan Miro, Takashi Murakami, Andy Warhol, Frank Stella, and Marc Chagall.

Signature Elements

Key features include scalloped white lacquer panels, zebrano wood panelling, a black lacquered Pleyel grand piano with white wave patterns, and a coral theme connecting the guest cabins.

Recognition

ALFA NERO won Best Interior Design, Motor Yacht at the World Superyacht Awards 2008.
