Tito Agnoli was born in 1931 in Lima, Peru, into an Italian family; after the Second World War, he returned to Italy. He initially studied painting under Mario Sironi. In 1949, he began studying at the Faculty of Architecture in Milan, graduating in 1959, after which he became an assistant to Gio Ponti and Giancarlo De Carlo. He also taught at Istituto d'Arte in Lissone.
As an architect, he focused primarily on industrial design, designing furniture and lighting. He worked with Arflex, Cinova, Lema, Matteo Grassi, Molteni, Montina, Oluce, Pierantonio Bonacina, Poltrona Frau, Schiffini and Ycami. He began working with Poltrona Frau in 1974.
His designs received multiple distinctions in the Compasso d'Oro competition, and in 1986 he was awarded a gold medal at the NeoCon trade fair in Chicago. Some of his works are held in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He died in February 2012 in Milan.
