Pharell Williams, entrepreneur and music producer, has done it again. Not only is he a rapper, producer, and owner of Billionaire Boys Club/Ice Cream, he is a furniture designer!

Williams' first line of furniture was inspired by Love and a scultpure in collaboration with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami; however, this second line shifted more towards war inspiration.
