Hip-Hop artist Pharrell is used to collaborating with big names – Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, and now? Zaha Hadid.
According to an interview with Hypebeast, the artist has decided to continue his dabble into the design world (he’s written a book and designed chairs in the past) by working on a pre-fab home with the Pritzker Prize-winning architect:
Pharrell: “There’s a collaboration I’m working with Zaha Hadid, we’re touring around with the idea of a prefab for a house.
Hypebeast: Is that still at the planning stages or are you guys looking to erect something soon?
Pharell, enigmatically: “Well, we’re going to see something through.”

It won’t be the first time Zaha Hadid works with pop stars. She designed the Pet Shop Boys’s tour stage back in 2001.

A pre-fab house? In the U.S. they are called ‘shadow inventory’ and are available, or rather deliberately unavailable, and number in the millions.
Lots of bling I expect…

dang. i used to think phsrrell had taste
Pharrell and Pritzker love story?
So, the late-to-the-party ZHA love-in continues – first Naomi, then Roger Sanchez’s embarrassingly awful track, now this. It’s enchantingly unsophisticated for all involved.
Ummmm…
Nice pic.

‘always loved both of them’s work, lets see the outcome of the collaboration!
Zaha wouldn’t be my first choice when thinking of residential architecture or any architecture at an intimate scale. This duet seems to be a bit of a mismatch.

The interior like suicide wrist red”
Please don’t be a tabloid.
