The molded shape of the seat appears to be suspended in the steel frame. The frame has an industrial look with the weld marks visible and a simple painted finish. The molded plywood seat is fixed to the steel frame in four visible points allowing air to be seen between the frame and seat. The warm color and smooth surface of the timber seat is in high contrast to the black metal frame. This chair is comfortable and supportive and regarded as Prouve's best chair design.
