The Foundation Console is a two-tiered piece from the Goons Collection, one of the more structurally complex works produced by Goons in Paris.
The form is rectangular and low, built around two open horizontal shelves. Along the back and sides of each compartment, corrugated vertical panels create a rhythmic, textural surface, the plywood cut into a series of parallel ridges that read as a repeat pattern at rest and as dynamic geometry under raking light. The layered edges of the plywood are left exposed throughout, running along the shelves, the sides, and the corrugated panels, making the material's laminated structure a visual detail in its own right.
Light-toned birch plywood is the material across the piece, its natural grain consistent and warm. The Foundation Console sits among the few pieces in the Goons Collection that integrate storage, its two shelves suited to books, objects, or flat display trays.

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.
