Teleavia

A 1957 Teleavia, designed by Philippe Charbonneaux^[1]

Teleavia was a French manufacturer of televisions in the mid-20th century,^[2] it was created by aviation company "Sud Aviation" as a diversification operation to employ redundant workforce. It was later absorbed by Thomson SA.^[3]

The brand was best known for the innovative television set designs created by the French designer Roger Tallon in the 1950s and 1960s.^[2] The 1968 edition, known as the Portavia 111, was the year's most photographed appliance.^[4]

Tallon later said, in explanation of the trademark's success and longevity: "It was the first time the shape, the function and the material absolutely intertwined".^{[citation needed]}

The brand's motto, from 1963, was "TELEAVIA, design also matters".
