The story
The Original Stool is a low seating piece from the Goons Collection by Goons, the Paris studio founded by architect Paul Trussler and designer Mia Kim.\n\nThe tabletop is irregularly shaped, its outline not quite rectangular, cut in dark-stained birch plywood with layered edges visible around its perimeter. Two thick, rustic block legs support it from below, one distinctly angled outward. The slight tilt and the irregular top avoid the strict geometry found elsewhere in the Goons Collection, giving this piece a rougher, more immediate quality within the range.\n\nThe construction is deliberately exposed. Block legs in solid wood are not refined: their grain is coarse, their profiles unfinished. They read as adapted material rather than components fabricated from scratch. The contrast with the planar top is part of the object's character.\n\nShort enough to use as an ottoman or a side table, the Original Stool sits at a scale that invites different readings depending on its placement.
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.
