Peter Marino

top 10 contemporary interior designers

Peter Marino is one of the major inspirations for LUXXU’s blog! His projects are full of glamour and elegance, but always with that eccentric touch on room decoration that is one of his images. “I want to create the illusion—and the reality—of permanence.” These are not Peter Marino’s words; they belong to the late Renzo Mongiardino, one of his biggest inspirations. But Marino’s work certainly embodies this wisdom. Like the Italian illusionist, Peter Marino believes in the seamless integration of architecture and interiors and also happens to be an aesthetic polymath.
