Tito Agnoli
Prolific designer Tito Agnoli created imaginative furniture with a singular mix of natural and industrial materials. Designing in the modern and mid-century modern styles, he made sofas, armchairs and daybeds from leather, bamboo and rattan as well as metal table lamps and floor lamps.
Born into an Italian family in Peru in 1931, Agnoli studied at the Faculty of Architecture in Milan. In 1949, he graduated with a degree in architecture from Politecnico di Milano. While there, he became acquainted with designers Gio Ponti and Carlo De Carli. He later worked with them as an assistant, learning to create austere pieces with flawless dimensions.
Utilizing this knowledge, he developed his own practice and worked with many Italian producers, including Arflex, Cinova, Lema, Matteo Grassi, Molteni, Montina, Oluce, Pierantonio Bonacina, Poltrona Frau, Schiffini and Ycami.
Agnoli received prestigious nominations for the Compasso d’Oro award. At the 1986 NeoCon exhibition in Chicago, he won a gold medal. His works are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Domus, n. 400, March 1963, review. About the designer: Born in Milan on February 27, 1929, Raffaella Crespi (1929-2011) graduated in architecture at the Politecnico di Milano in 1955. In those years, the visual characteristics and the “know-how” of what today is identified as Italian design, was born. In 1969, she obtained her teaching qualification, and in 1980, she became professor of Architectural Technology, then of Industrial Design. Raffaella Crespi was one of the founders of the Association of Industrial Design, and of the magazines "Italia Nostra" and "Terragni" Foundation of Como. In 1973, the designer became the president of the Order of Architects of the province of Milan, a position she held until 1977. Crespi was the first woman ever to hold this position. Meanwhile, Crespi met the Italian engineer and architect Marcello Grisotti, a professor in Bari and later at the Milan Polytechnic in Engineering, who hired her as the editor of the magazine “Architettura / Cantiere”. Crespi also curated numerous exhibitions of international importance, including the “Il teatro in the Weimar Republic” at the Palazzo delle Stelline in 1979 and “Puppets, marionettes and puppets from the eighteenth century to the present” at the Palazzo Reale in 1980. The designer’s works were exhibited at prestigious museums around the world, such as in the MoMa in New York, in Tokyo, Paris, and London. From the year 1974, she directed the series of “Researches of Technology of Architecture” for the publisher Franco Angeli...Category
