Ariva

Ariva is Sitia’s essential chair, designed by Manuel Barbieri in 2012. Inspired by Hippolyte Flandrin’s painting “Nude Young Man Seated by the Sea”, it stands out for its unique structure: an interlocking system of seven components that replaces the traditional leg-seat-backrest sequence, creating an iconic design with a distinctive, slender profile. Perfect for those seeking a design piece that combines simplicity and character, Ariva is the ideal choice for elegant, conscious furnishing. Crafted exclusively with natural materials, including structural components, it represents a 100% sustainable product. A key strength is its customization potential: available in various wood essences and finishes, Ariva can be configured to adapt to any stylistic requirement, whether in residential contexts, offices, or contract spaces.
