Description from the seller
Rare pair of iconic modular dressers from the Fiorenza series
Design Tito Agnoli – Produced by Molteni & C. (1960s)
We present at auction a refined pair of modular dressers belonging to the famous Fiorenza series, designed by architect and designer Tito Agnoli at the end of the sixties for Molteni & C. An emblematic example of Italian cabinetry from the twentieth century, this set combines geometric rigor, warm tones and extreme compositional versatility, fitting naturally into different rooms of the home.
Design and history:
The Fiorenza series dressers represent a significant milestone in the research on modular storage furniture.
Essential lines: characterized by compact volumes and calibrated proportions, the dressers develop with clean geometries, enhanced on the top surface by elegant raised perimeter rails that define the profile and increase the furniture’s functional surface.
Construction details: the recessed groove pulls are integrated directly into the fronts of the drawers, eliminating any superfluous protrusion, highlighting the continuity of the wood grain and giving the furniture a sober, timeless appearance.
Auction conditions:
The Fiorenza pair on auction presents in excellent used condition, with minimal and physiological signs of time consistent with the age of the pieces.
The structure is solid and robust, and the walnut surfaces have been treated with professional products that, while preserving the original patina, brighten the grain and enhance their appearance.

The Designer: Tito Agnoli
Born in Lima and trained in Milan at the Politecnico alongside masters such as Gio Ponti and Carlo De Carli, Tito Agnoli was one of the most refined protagonists of postwar Italian design. A master in combining traditional craft with industrial production, he designed furniture characterized by intuitive functionality and deep respect for materials. In the Fiorenza series for Molteni, his rational approach translates into a welcoming, modular furnishing system of great aesthetic balance.
The Manufacturer: Molteni & C.
Founded by Angelo Molteni, the company is one of the emblematic brands of Italian furniture excellence worldwide. Moving in the sixties from artisanal craft to high-end industrial design thanks to collaborations with renowned architectural masters, Molteni & C. has created iconic collections that unite constructive quality, material research, and timeless elegance.
