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.

Mid-Century Gallery Chairs by Asnago and Pozzi for Giorgetti, 1970's
By Umberto Asnago, Ambrogio Pozzi, Giorgetti S.p.A.
Located in Conversano, IT
Stunning and rare set of "Gallery" chairs, designed by Umberto Asnago and Ambrogio Pozzi for Centro Ricerche Giorgetti between 1975 and 1980.
This particular version of the Gallery collection is especially rare. The line featured various pieces inspired by Eastern aesthetics and early 20th-century design, and these chairs - reminiscent of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's iconic silhouettes - are currently the only known examples available on the market.
They feature a strikingly high backrest, geometric elegance, and a balance of architectural presence and refined comfort. The combination of black lacquered ash wood and velvet upholstery gives the chairs both visual depth and tactile richness.
Please note: These items are in a very good vintage condition. Minor signs of age may be present but do not affect its functionality. We kindly ask you to consider these characteristics prior to purchase.
