LEGO and Pharrell Williams are shooting for the stars with their latest creation, proving that when it comes to creativity, the sky's not the limit—it’s just the beginning.
Fresh off the heels of announcing Pharrell’s biopic Piece by Piece, the toymaker and the multi-hyphenate artist—who is also Louis Vuitton’s men’s creative director—have come together to launch the LEGO Icons Over the Moon with Pharrell Williams set, a 966-piece monument to his imagination and ambition.

The inspiration behind the set draws from Pharrell’s childhood experiences. Growing up in the Atlantis Apartments, a young Pharrell’s surroundings fueled his curiosity and creative optimism. This space-themed LEGO set symbolizes the launchpad that propelled Pharrell towards building the future he envisioned for himself and others like him.

Taking center stage is a 19.5-inch-tall space shuttle with an opening cockpit and attachable landing gear, allowing adult builders to recreate both flight and touchdown scenarios. The vibrant jet stream display stand adds a pop of color that’s quintessentially Pharrell.

Literally adding character to the brick structure are two astronaut minifigures in the images of Pharrell Williams and his wife Helen Lasichanh. Decked out in titanium-colored space suits with intricate printed details and gold-colored visors, these characters are ready to explore new frontiers. The set also comes with 49 interchangeable heads, offering a playful nod to diversity and individuality.
