British pop star Robbie Williams is a Miami resident now — and artist
Robbie Williams is tapping into a new set of skills lately that have nothing to do with music.
The British pop star, who recently bought a mansion in Coral Gables, is front and center during Miami Art Week this year.
Williams, who has talked openly about how creativity helps his mental health, has two separate projects. On Monday night, guests were treated to the unveiling of his so-called Introvert Chair at The Standard Spa in Miami Beach.
The whimsical meets plush armchair is a collaboration with Moooi, founded by famed Dutch designer Marcel Wanders. According to the product description, it’s a “bold, but quiet statement piece [that] wraps you in comfort, privacy and softness.”
You can lounge on one at the adults-only property until Sunday or snap one up yourself. Priced at 3,895 euros (approximately $4,500), the Introvert is “a sculptural sanctuary that’s curved to cocoon and padded to please.” Basically, it’s a giant hug that lives rent free in your house.
“In a world that rarely slows down, we often crave a place of repose, and this chair is just that,” Williams says in press materials. “Its soft fabric and gentle curves create a sanctuary that offers complete comfort and calm, reminding me of the power that art and design have ... not only in shaping our spaces, but in transforming how we feel within them.”
The former Take That frontman wasn’t done there. The 51-year-old teamed up with esteemed U.K. ceramics brand 1882 Ltd. for an abstract piece showing at Design Miami through Sunday.
Titled “Glazed & Confused,” it’s large scale, 3D multicolored caricature of a man with spiky hair that was his original drawing wrought (shaped) by master potters. Though the work was inspired by Picasso’s Cubism period, one of Williams’ Instagram followers thought it was “giving Basquiat.”
“Art has proved cathartic salve,” for the Grammy nominee says an 1882 Ltd. release. “Publicly open about his challenges with mental health in the light of fame and its ensuant pressures, art and humor have become useful tools for the star to navigate what he regularly calls the ‘crowded mind.’” Price for the piece, located at Booth C01, is available upon request.
Not to worry, Williams fans: He’s not leaving his first love behind. A new album, “Britpop,” drops in February 2026.
