The Lounge Chair is a seating piece from the Goons Collection, designed by studio Goons in Paris and produced in dark plywood with exposed layered edges throughout.
The chair sits low, its profile close to the ground and wide at the seat and armrests. Flat panels of plywood form every surface, including the back, seat, and arm supports, meeting at right angles rather than curves. The geometry is strictly rectilinear: no upholstery softens the silhouette, no curved element introduces ambiguity. The exposed plywood edges run along every joint and rim, their stacked laminations making the material's construction directly readable from any angle.
The piece is produced in a wenge-finish plywood that gives the chair its deep, warm brown tone. Within the Goons Collection, the Lounge Chair sits alongside the End Table Chair as the studio's exploration of seating stripped to its structural essentials.

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.
