Originally trained as a painter, Agnoli transitioned to furniture design and quickly gained recognition for his collaborations with esteemed Italian brands, including Cassina, Poltrona Frau, and Arflex. His designs, spanning sofas, lighting, and shelving, are celebrated for their refined lines and practical, user-centered focus.
Agnoli’s work has been exhibited in major design venues, including the Milan Triennale, and is part of the permanent collections in museums such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. He was nominated several times for the Compasso d’Oro, one of Italy’s most prestigious design awards, reflecting his lasting impact on Italian modernist design. Today, Agnoli’s work remains sought after by collectors for its understated elegance and timeless functionality.
