The MM Stool is a sculptural seating piece from the Goons Collection, produced by studio Goons in Paris in birch plywood.
The top is thick and square, its upper surface flat and its edge finished in a continuous corrugated profile, the same zigzag treatment found in the You & Me collection applied here to a horizontal plane rather than a vertical frame. Below, the base is built from multiple vertical wooden planks arranged tightly together, forming a dense pillar that reads as a column of material rather than a conventional leg assembly. The proportions are squat and block-like, the stool presenting itself as a piece of architecture at small scale.
Birch plywood is the material throughout, finished in a warm butterscotch tone that accentuates the natural wood grain. The MM Stool can serve as a seat, a side table, or a plinth for objects, and within the Goons Collection it sits alongside the Original Stool as the studio's two stool forms in birch.

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.
