The Just For Me Bench is a single-seat piece from the You & Me collection by Goons, the solo counterpart to the double-width bench in the same series.
The form is a flat plywood rectangle on a base that draws immediate attention: a zigzag structure runs beneath the seat, its triangular voids reading as negative space against the solid top. The seat surface is light-toned plywood with visible layered edges, while the flat vertical legs on either side are finished in a darker brown, creating a quiet contrast in the same material register. The piece sits low, its horizontal emphasis reinforced by the length of the seat relative to its height.
Plywood is the primary material, produced in Paris by studio Goons as part of the You & Me collection, a series built around the same structural vocabulary applied to objects designed for one or two users. The Just For Me Bench is the smaller expression of that idea.

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.
