The Tank Chair

The Tank Chair was designed by Pharrell Williams (one half of the production duo the Neptunes). The track half is made of plexiglass while the seat section is full grain colt leather. Seeing is how the chair is being displayed at Art Basel Miami Beach this year at The Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin I'm guess this is more of an art piece than a piece of furniture.

Comment by The Lisa on December 25, 2009 at 5:58pm: Does it bother anybody else like crazy that the left wheels on the pink chair are not correctly sized, which ruins the thought of cruising around in it? Otherwise, very cool. It seems more at home at the best toy store in the world than an art show.

@inka_leoni - yea, black is the best...close behind it is the white one, though. =)

oh and I'd have the seat painted matte black.
