A red modular 3-seater sofa by Tito Agnoli for Arflex, Italy, late 20th century
A modular 3-seater sofa designed by Tito Agnoli for Arflex in Italy in the latter half of the 20th century. The set comprises three distinct units upholstered in red fabric, which can be arranged flexibly to suit a variety of seating configurations. Its low profile, generous proportions and clean lines reflect the dynamic modularity of its era.
Tito Agnoli was born into an Italian family, in Lima, Peru, in 1931. He came to Italy after the war. Trained as a painter (having studied with Sironi), in 1949 he enrolled in the Faculty of Architecture, where he graduated in 1959 and was assistant to Gio Ponti and to Carlo De Carli. However, even in the early fifties, he was already carrying out an intense professional activity in the field of design where he can boast about the cooperation with prestigious companies in the Italian market. He was recommended several times for the Compasso d'Oro (Golden Compass) Award and in 1986 he won the gold medal at the Neocon in Chicago. Some of his pieces are kept in the permanent collection of the MoMa in New York.
