The story
The One For Me One For You bench is a double-seat entry piece from the You & Me collection by Goons, the Paris studio founded by architect Paul Trussler and designer Mia Kim.
Two birch plywood platforms are set at different heights, one stepping slightly above the other in an overlapping configuration. The resulting form is elongated and low, reading as both a bench and a console depending on the vantage point. The displaced levels suggest two occupants side by side, each on their own plane.
Below the seating surfaces, a continuous zigzag structure spans the full length of the base. Its triangulated openings are structural, not decorative: the same form returns across the You & Me collection as a recognizable motif, appearing in the mirrors and the Just For Me bench. The plywood shows its natural grain, medium-brown and warm, with layered edges exposed at the cross-section of each board.
The piece is made without applied veneer or opaque finish. Material and construction are read together.
About Goons
Goons is a Paris design studio founded in 2020 by architect Paul Trussler and designer Mia Kim. Working from a shared interest in materials and formal economy, the two bring complementary disciplines into a practice that sits between furniture, object design, and sculpture.
Trussler trained in architecture and spent years working with Frank Gehry and Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane on international projects spanning museums, galleries, and private residences, before founding Pentagon, his California-based office specializing in handcrafted objects and precise architectural drawing. Kim brings a background in fashion, printmaking, painting, and sculpture, shaped by years as a designer and creative editor at Hermès and Chanel.
The studio's approach starts with a simple concept and follows its logic until it becomes structural. The M Collection, built around stacked and shaped birch plywood, became the studio's defining exercise in that thinking. Evolving Forms, their first solo exhibition at St Vincents in Antwerp (January to March 2025), expanded that vocabulary into a full collection of dining furniture, stools, benches, and chairs in Scandinavian birch plywood with Italian pure-wool upholstery.
Goons has been featured in AD France, AD Collector, Elle Decoration, and Milk Decoration, among other publications.
Their furniture and objects are available on Monde Singulier.
