Story
A chair named after Belleville
Vitra links the family name to the Paris neighbourhood where Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec maintain their studio. The company cites classic French bistro furnishings among the designers' visual references.
One outline, different shells
The family uses the seat shell to change the chair's character. This Wood version uses moulded plywood, while Vitra also presents polypropylene and upholstered alternatives within the wider range.
