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.

Tito Agnoli 'Korium' Sofa in Cognac Leather
By Tito Agnoli, Matteo Grassi
Located in Waalwijk, NL
Tito Agnoli for Matteo Grassi, 'Korium' sofa, leather, steel Italy, 1970s This sophisticated iconic 'Korium' cognac leather sofa was designed by Tito Agnoli for Matteo Grassi. It features a strong structure, with a wing like appearance and timeless minimalistic design. The leather is stitched and molded onto the metal frame panels, a type of architectural design used by great designers in Italy during this period. The red cognac leather is in good condition and shows traces of age and use. The Grassi family – Matteo and his wife, and later on, his sons – opened a workshop in 1880 in a small village called Mariano Comense, located in northern Italy. They were specialized in crafting products for horses. At the end of the Second World War, the region, where the family company was located, developed into one of the liveliest areas for furniture making in Italy. From the 1950s to the ‘70s, the family business took on a different road and went from mostly horse equipment...
