A primitive cell which has been constructed by applying Voronoi decomposition to a crystal lattice. In other words: the set of points in space that are closer to the given lattice point than to any other lattice points.
It can be shown that it is a primitive cell, so it has the same volume of any other primitive cell and the cell spans the entire direct space without leaving any gaps or holes.
The Wigner-Seitz cell of a reciprocal lattice is called the Brillouin zone.
