About the Designer
Tito Agnoli (1931–2012) was a Peruvian-born Italian architect and designer celebrated for his innovative and elegant approach to furniture design. Though trained as an architect under Gio Ponti, Agnoli made his mark in industrial and furniture design with works that combined minimalist geometry with luxurious materials. He collaborated with leading Italian manufacturers such as Arflex, Poltrona Frau, and of course, Matteo Grassi. His designs earned numerous awards and continue to be collected and admired globally.
About the Manufacturer
Founded in the 1880s as a saddlery workshop, Matteo Grassi became one of Italy’s most respected design houses in the 20th century. Renowned for its craftsmanship in leather, the company expanded into high-end furniture in the 1970s, collaborating with iconic designers such as Agnoli and Massimo Scolari. Their commitment to artisanal techniques and modern aesthetics made Matteo Grassi a staple of Italian design excellence.

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.
