If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to have exclusive access to a gallery, followed by a restful night in the presence of its fabulous objets d’art, then Pharrell Williams has just the opportunity for you: an Airbnb stay at his Just Phriends exhibit in Paris.
Just Phriends is the latest auction from JOOPITER, the online auction house and content platform founded by Williams—who, by the way, is the new Men’s Creative Director at Louis Vuitton. Coinciding with Paris Men’s Fashion Week, the gallery, housed in an 18th-century mansion in the heart of Paris, will play host to the auction’s items from June 20 to 24. On opening night, two lucky guests will get to experience the sleepover of a lifetime when the top floor of the gallery is reappointed into a bedroom exclusively for them. Williams recently hit the big 5-0 and to commemorate the milestone birthday, the single-night stay will only set guests back about €50.
Curation of the show comes courtesy of Williams’s longtime friend Sarah Andelman. The founder of the legendary but now shuttered Parisian boutique Colette personally chose just over 50 items from friends of the duo, including specially commissioned pieces by Kaws and Takashi Murakami, and brands like Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co, in addition to rare art pieces.
“This one-night stay will be an IRL expression of Williams’s and Andelman’s enduring friendship and personal connections,” says Williams. “We’re very grateful to welcome you to the world of JOOPITER and to immerse you in the history of these pieces.”

Any art and design aficionados with an affinity for the singer and/or the City of Love should be ready to send in their booking requests via Airbnb on June 17 at 6pm CEST/12pm EST.
