Marino Moment: An über-Chic Affair



He has been called Pedro el Grande.  Don't be mistakenly fooled by his head-to-toe black leather outfit; a  rarified identity and a beckoning style that personified someone comfortably on top of their game:  Peter Marino is an internationally acclaimed and well sought-after architect and designer. He is an arbiter elegantiae of  modern luxury retail space, and notable on his list are; Chanel boutiques in Paris and New York, Louis Vuitton in Paris, Shanghai and Singapore, and Christian Dior in Paris and New York.  New York Magazine once wrote "the genius of a Marino's designed luxury retail space is that you move through it without being assaulted by anything specifically overwhelming and are instead overtaken by a feeling of affluence, efficiency, comfort, and calm."

Aside from modern luxury retail space, Peter have designed the private homes of super-rich like Bernard Arnault, David Koch, Laurence Graff, Stephen Schwarzman, and Middle Eastern royal family.

Below are pictures of interior space of private homes designed by Peter Marino, which was sourced variously form Architectural Digest.
