Gubi and Bonacina 1889 Reissue Tito Agnoli's 1960s Rattan Chairs

Gubi, a Danish design firm, has teamed up with Bonacina 1889, an Italian rattan expert, to reintroduce two midcentury pieces by Italian modernist Tito Agnoli. The 'P3' lounge chair and 'P3S' chaise longue, designed in 1964 for Bonacina 1889, showcase Agnoli's unique formal clarity. A painter trained under Mario Sironi, Agnoli later studied architecture at Milan Politecnico and collaborated with notable figures like Gio Ponti and Carlo de Carli. His partnership with Bonacina 1889 led to innovative furniture and lighting that reflect modernist ideals. The 'P3' collection features a minimalist metal frame with rattan weaving. Elia Bonacina, CEO of Bonacina 1889, emphasizes the design's intricate tension management, while Gubi's CEO, Marie Kristine Schmidt, highlights their shared vision. The Gubi x Bonacina collection begins at £999.
