Tito Agnoli was born in Lima, Peru, in 1931 to an Italian family and returned to Italy after World War II. A painter by training, having studied under Sironi, he enrolled in the Faculty of Architecture in 1949 and graduated in 1959. He later became an assistant to Gio Ponti and Carlo De Carli. In the early 1950s, Agnoli began an active career in design, collaborating with renowned companies such as Arflex, Cinova, Lema, Matteo Grassi, Molteni, Montina, Oluce, Pierantonio Bonacina, Poltrona Frau, Schiffini, and Ycami. Nominated multiple times for the prestigious Compasso d’Oro, he won the gold medal at Neocon in Chicago in 1986. Several of his works are part of the permanent collection at MoMA in New York.
