About the Item
The Korium chair, designed by Tito Agnoli, is a standout piece from the mid-20th century, blending Italian craftsmanship with modernist design principles. Agnoli, renowned for his minimalist approach, created the Korium chair with sleek, clean lines and a focus on functionality. The chair’s design is a harmonious fusion of form and comfort, characterized by its ergonomic contours and soft, inviting upholstery. Its understated elegance and timeless appeal make it a versatile addition to any space, from contemporary to classic interiors.
Manufactured by Matteo Grassi, a company renowned for its expertise in leather craftsmanship, the Korium chair is crafted using high-quality leather paired with a sturdy metal frame. Matteo Grassi, founded in 1880, originally specialized in leather goods and saddlery before becoming a leader in high-end furniture production. The smooth leather upholstery enhances the chair’s visual appeal and provides a comfortable seating experience. This particular chair, an original, shows signs of age-related wear that contribute to its unique character. The natural patina that has developed over time adds a sense of history and authenticity to the piece.
The Korium chair’s popularity lies in its adaptability and enduring style. While designed in the 1970s, it continues to be sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts who appreciate its timeless quality. Tito Agnoli’s work, combined with the craftsmanship of Matteo Grassi, remains an important representation of Italian design’s golden era. The chair's worn surfaces and developed patina reflect the passage of time, enhancing its appeal as a vintage classic, while its iconic silhouette ensures that it remains a centre piece in any room it inhabits.

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.
