Born in Egypt, Paolo Tilche (1925–2003) graduated from the Politecnico di Milano in 1949 before launching his career in architecture. Although he initially focused on various architectural projects ranging from residential to industrial and office designs, one of his most celebrated achievements was the design of the Hotel Raya in Panarea. Tilche became renowned for his contributions to industrial and furniture design, earning membership in the Associazione per il Disegno Industriale (ADI).
He gained recognition for his innovative use of shapes and materials, collaborating with notable partners such as Barbini and Fratelli Guzzini to design lighting, glassware, furniture and kitchenware. In 1955, Tilche established Arform, a Milan-based design store, marking a new chapter in his career focused on retail and design curation. Today, Arform continues to offer a diverse range of objects and furniture, featuring Tilche's own creations alongside those of other international designers.
