French design firm Cabinet Alberto Pinto is one of the leaders in private aircraft interior design. The firm's portfolio, under the direction of Linda Pinto, includes private jets from Airbus and Boeing, which manufacturer some of the world's largest planes. Alberto Pinto was behind the interior design of a massive Boeing Business Jet 747-8i, a four-engine palace that is currently the largest private jet to roam the skies.

One plane with which the design firm is intimately familiar is the Airbus ACJ319, the private jet variant of the Airbus A319 currently in service with scores of airlines ranging from British Airways to Spirit Airlines. Unlike the airline operators of the type, however, Alberto Pinto's clients are expecting the most lavish and luxurious interiors for their aircraft.

A recent addition to the Cabinet Alberto Pinto line-up is an ACJ319 bought for private use by a Chinese businessman, according to Architectural Digest. After delivery, the plane was entrusted to the firm and Swiss aircraft interior builder AMAC Aerospace to create the masterpiece.

Take a look inside the final product.

The Airbus ACJ319 offers luxuries and comforts not found on even the largest aircraft from private jet leaders Gulfstream, Bombardier and Dassault. Cabinet Alberto Pinto, in its 50 years of operations, has designed the interior of multiple Airbus ACJ320 family aircraft, including the ACJ319.

The spacious interior allows for four passenger sections including the master bedroom, main lounge, dining area and private lounge, as well as a crew rest area and two galleys. Upon stepping on the aircraft through the front boarding door, directly to the right is the forward corridor, which leads to the main lounge and master bedroom. The master bedroom features a king-size bed up against the massive windows as well as a bedside table. Size constraints don't allow for extras in the room, unlike larger private jets the firm has designed.
