The Belleville Chair consists of two main components – a seat shell and a slender black structural frame made of plastic, with or without armrests.‎ The seat shell, which tapers from a wide seat to a narrow backrest, lends the Belleville Chair a distinctive identity: the moulded plywood veneer shell gives it the appearance of a wooden chair.‎Material description- Seat shell: moulded plywood, protective natural lacquer finish.‎- Base and frame: injection-moulded polyamide.‎ Stackable up to 5 high.‎Belleville is the name of the vibrant Paris neighbourhood where the designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have their studio.‎ Visual references for the Belleville Chair can be found in the classic French bistro furnishings and lively atmosphere of this Parisian quarter.‎ The chair's familiar shape - even in a contemporary context - might at first be taken for granted, yet it also evokes a sense of mystery and bemusement, since the materiality, construction and fabrication of the chair only become apparent at second glance.‎Paired with the Belleville Tables, the Belleville Chair and Armchair form a unified yet diverse group - a hybrid family of furnishings whose forms and materials are harmoniously coordinated.‎ Thus the chairs and tables - in small or large numbers - can be attractively combined in bustling bistro settings as well as sleekly modern galleries or diversely styled home environments.‎
