Marc Berthier designed the foldable Aviva chair in 1979 as a response to the mobile, urban lifestyle. Italian Magis has manufactured the original Aviva chair for over twenty years and started the production of the updated design in 2010. As Aviva folds flat, it’s easy to move from one room and home to another. Made of simple beech elements, the minimalist chair will stand the test of time.
