PHARRELL WILLIAMS REVEALS ‘FUTURE LIVING CONCEPT' DESIGNED IN COLLABORATION WITH NOT A HOTEL

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Pharrell Williams unveiled Drophaus, a water droplet-inspired "future living concept" created with Tokyo-based Not a Hotel, as the centerpiece of his Louis Vuitton A/W 2026 menswear show in Paris. The compressed glass structure blurs indoor-outdoor boundaries and features the Homework furniture series, designed with intentional "ten percent imperfection" in irregular forms and textured surfaces. Williams' collection explored timelessness through reimagined menswear archetypes, using technical fabrics like reflective yarns and crystal embroidery that evoke water droplets.
