PHARRELL WILLIAMS :: HIP-HOP'S #1 DESIGNER

Pharrell Williams - Art D'assaut from BLAST on Vimeo.


The chair below is called Perspective. It was designed by Pharrell in collaboration with Domeau & Pérès who built it and will be making the additional chairs. The chair, as well as another chair design and a table will be part of a show in Paris at the prestigious Emmanuel Perrotin Galerie. The show went from October 21st 2008 until January 10th 2009. The chairs will be available in a few colors and only 4 of each will be sold. The chair below represents the love between a woman and man.

“I had often wondered what it’s like to truly be in love, not lust for once..So I decided not to ask what it was like in someone else’s shoes or what it was like to sit in their seat..I decided to sketch out my own experiment; the perspective chair.”







Pharrell Williams -- of N.E.R.D. fame and influential hip-hop production prowess -- has finally unveiled his Louis Vitton jewelry collection, which he says is inspired by "the music universe." Whatever works for you, dude!

I'm not sure what he's been listening to lately ("Tears in Heaven" ?), but the Blason collection -- designed with Camille Miceli and supervised by Marc Jacobs -- includes a gold ring with a diamond-wielding cherub attached to it. That and various other pieces, like a reversible diamond ring, range from $2,000 to $621,000.

But I'm no expert on fashion. Pharrell, with his sharp Billionaire Boys Club clothing label, is. He summoned that and all of the rest of his taste-making talents to make this collection happen, including a promo video in which he and his design partner Miceli both star. He also used it as a chance to debut a new N.E.R.D. track, "Everyone Nose," a dense, funky track that's equal parts piano ballad and chopped up electro-samba. In short, it's some of the best stuff he's ever made.
