And singer/producer Pharell Williams designed his first chair in collaboration with French designers Domeau & Pérès. Named “Perspective,” the glossy chair distinguishes itself by its legs, which represent a pair of a man’s leg behind a pair of a woman’s, suggesting a sexual act. The chair, available in four colors, will be exposed and sold in a Parisian gallery (Emmanuel Perrotin) from October 21, 2008 to January 10, 2009. (Source: Men’s Up.)
