Rapper Pharrell Williams is setting out to rival his colleague Kanye West's 'design guru' status, premiering his own chair design at a Paris concept store and gallery this month.

Following his previous works, Perspective (2008) and The Simple Things (2009), The Tank will travel from Colette to the Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, starting March 22.

Pharrell, who has also designed glasses and jewelry for Louis Vuitton as well as launched his own clothing line, the Billionnaire Boys Club, got inspired by the subject of war for his latest design, coinciding with fashion's current military trend.
