Rattan chaise longue P3S model by Tito Agnoli for Bonacina 60s, 70s
About the Item
Tito Agnoli’s designs are characterized by soft forms interrupted by dystonic pulses—a modernism with a baroque soul, perhaps influenced by the colonial architecture of South America, where Agnoli was born in 1931. Assistant to Gio Ponti and later Carlo De Carli, Agnoli embarked on an intense career in design, collaborating with many companies in the field. The bar was raised with the P3S in 1964: a continuous line that forms the minimal geometry of the chaise longue’s shape, a wicker weave on a metal frame that radically frees Agnoli from any suspicion of orthodoxy with regard to past forms.
The P3S chaise longue, designed by Tito Agnoli in 1964 for Pierantonio Bonacina, is an icon of 20th-century Italian design, symbolizing modernity and refined craftsmanship.
Design and Materials
The P3S stands out for its tubular metal frame, over which rattan cane is hand-woven, creating a continuous and fluid form that challenges the conventions of traditional design. This innovative approach gives the chaise longue a sculptural and dynamic appearance, while maintaining a sober and functional elegance.
Editions and Variants
Over the years, the P3S has been produced in several editions. The first series, manufactured in the 1960s, is recognizable by its brass details and painted metal frame. Later, in the 1970s, versions with more modern finishes and updated materials were introduced, such as polyester paint and rattan treated for outdoor use.

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.
