What's in a chair? What do you look for in a chair? Maybe you seek out things like: comfort, contrast, modernity, resilience, etc. Well thats people you don't think outside of the box. People that think outside of the box look for eccentric things out of their furniture, their furniture has to do more for them than its utilitarian purpose, their furniture has to be Domeau & Pérès. Domeau & Pérès is a prestige company that primarily focuses on designs and makes custom furniture. They are considered the haute couture of design, which basically means that they make thought-provoking conversation pieces while other companies just make... furniture. They excel in their art and they definitely stand out, it's no wonder why Pharrell Williams would collaborate with them to create the "Perspective Chair". However just like anything else that Mr. Williams does there is a deeper meaning and purpose to the creation of the chair than just its traditional utilitarian purposes. According to Pharrell the chair is his physical representation of being in love. If you're in Paris October 21 through January 10th, the chairs will be showcased at the Emmanuel Perrotin Galerie. They will be available in a few colors and only 4 of each will be sold.
“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
