Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin will be showcasing Pharrell Williams’ latest artistic creation which addresses the theme of war, The Tank Chair, at Colette on March 22nd to the 28th followed by the Emmanuel Perrotin gallery on March 30th to April 24th. The Tank Chair consists of 4 models, baby pink, white transparent, baby blue and black, which are made of Plexiglass and foal or calf. 8 limited edition pieces of each Tank Chair model have been created.

In The Tank Chair photo shoot Pharrell was wearing a pair of Nike Snowboarding Danny Kass x Arbito Zoom Force 1 Boots. Nike Snowboarding created this boot for pro snowboarder, Danny Kass in collaboration with Seattle-base artist, Arbito who is well known for his vivid hallucinogenic paintings. The boots, also known as Double Tongue, features dual “tongues” to ensure ground clearance for snowboard pants when a boarder is not riding. This is definitely an interesting choice by Mr. Williams and comes as no surprise because he is a trend setter. Pharrell is also wearing the Switzerland themed International Down Vest by Ralph Lauren, and a pair of BBC jeans.
