Magis Design Aviva Folding Chair
AVIVA FOLDING CHAIR
AVIVA FOLDING CHAIR
Marc Berthier, 1979/2010
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 together 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.

We recommend using a soft rag, either dry or wet. When needed, use ph-balanced liquid soap especially formulated for wood, diluted in water. Do not use abrasive sponges, as they may leave scratches. Avoid using acidic products, solvents and products containing ammonia. Avoid exposure to sunlight as this may permanently d`iscolour the surface.
