Aviva is a folding chair designed by Marc Berthier at the end of the 70s in re-
sponse to the mobility of the urban lifestyle. It has been manufactured by Magis
for 20 years and restyled in 2010.
Aviva chairs fold completely flat and are designed for high-standard industrial
manufacturing, with frames made of just two elements of beech wood joined to-
gether by small metal parts. The specific kinematics of the folding seat demand
absolute precision, of a kind rarely required in woodworking.
It’s a robust and compact, when folded, Aviva needs hardly any space and is
easily storable in the smallest corners and gaps. This simple chair is shaped to
achieve ergonomy for both seat and backrest and accommodate the human
body. Available in 5 colours, Aviva’s minimalist silhouette can fit in every living.
