THE STUDIO

Goux Studio New York is based in Brooklyn and was founded by Steven Gertner. The studio operates at the intersection of hardware and furniture, creating practical storage and display pieces that are modular yet rich in material and form. Goux Studio released the Plus Collection in 2024, a series of functional, everyday objects, including wall-mounted nightstands, shelves, hooks, mirrors, and planters, all designed around the same plus-shape extrusion.

The Plus Collection evolved from the studio’s explorations in using one structural element to build a small world of objects. With the use of stainless steel, hardwood, and marble add-ons, Goux reconfigures and transforms the same aluminum plus-shape design into a variety of storage and display pieces. These pieces are practical, well-crafted and durable, but they are also extra-functional—beautiful, refined, and warm objects worth keeping over a lifetime.

“The Plus pieces are not engineered to disappear into anonymous bits of hardware,” says Steven. “They are designed to have their own presence, point of view and, and, hopefully, beauty. They are good active listeners for larger spaces and the meaningful things each piece holds.”

The Plus Collection draws on modern architectural influences, especially the work of Mies van der Rohe and Konrad Wachsmann, as well as Steven’s unique background. He grew up around his grandparents’ hardware business and went on to receive a Master of Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. He began his career at MOS Architects and later designed several patented fastening systems and installation tools. The Plus Collection comes from these two different mindsets and scales of work: a speculative architectural vision grounded in a deep technical appreciation for how things are made.

The Plus Collection is made with modular parts designed to be installed with basic tools. The clarity and precision of the joinery, as well as the straightforwardness of the installation methods, match the outward appearance of the objects. To achieve this level of quality, inside and out, Goux works with local manufacturing partners in the New York area to ensure that every product performs well, aesthetically and functionally, over a lifetime. Every piece in the collection begins with an aluminum core component, available with a raw tumbled finish as well as four complementary colors: Bone, Clay, Graphite and Oxblood. Add-on pieces are available in maple, white oak, stainless steel, and grand antique marble.
