(AllHipHop News) Hit song maker Pharrell Williams will produce a different product this month, when his new chair debuts in Paris, France. The rap star’s new chair design will debut at a concept store and Gallery starting today (March 22) at the Galerie Emmanual Perrotin. According to reports, the design was inspired by war and fashion’s current trend of wearing military-inspired designs. Williams recently put his design talents to use by designing a bottle for Kiehl’s lotion. Tribe Called Quest group member Phife Dawg will showcase his entrepreneurial side this year by launching  a line of clothes and a record label. Phife, who is also working on a sports themed-talk show titled “The Fanalyst,”  is launching King Duce Entertainment, a recording imprint/clothing line. I’m going to be head of urban music as well of head of urban wear,” Phife told OkayPlayer.com about his new ventures. Phife is working on his solo album Songs in the Key of Phife, which will feature guest appearances by Q-Tip, KRS-One and possibly Big Boi from Outkast. Just Blaze’s new recording studio in Harlem could open in as little as three weeks, according to the super producer. Just Blaze, who purchased Baseline Studios in 2003, recently closed the studio to move uptown. The opening was hampered by construction delays, as the studio is being completely customized to Just Blaze’s specifications.  Just Blaze closed down Baseline’s 26th street location in January of 2010, to move the studio to Harlem’s Stadiumred compound.
