The Goma Barstool by Made by Choice is a refined, architectural seating piece born from a collaboration between the celebrated Finnish-Swedish architect Thomas Sandell and the innovative Finnish design house, Made by Choice. Originally created for the acclaimed Stockholm restaurant Goma by Miss Voon—an Asian street food and cocktail concept—the Goma Barstool was designed to embody the same clarity and character as the space itself. Strong, grounded, and sculptural, the Goma Barstool by Made by Choice reflects a distinctly Nordic approach to form: pared-back yet expressive, with a sense of presence that is both subtle and bold.
The Goma Barstool is part of a larger family of furniture, which includes a sibling chair and armchair. Each piece shares a consistent design language that is deeply rooted in both Finnish and broader Nordic design principles—functionality, purity of form, and timeless simplicity. Made by Choice, known for its commitment to collective creativity and sustainable production, brings these values to life in every Goma Barstool. The piece is constructed entirely in southwestern Finland in the company’s own factory, using regionally sourced woods and traditional joinery techniques refined through generations of Finnish craftsmanship.
What sets the Goma Barstool by Made by Choice apart is its quiet confidence and versatility. The stool’s clean lines and deliberate geometry are softened by the tactile warmth of natural wood. Available in a curated palette of Nordic colors and finishes—such as pale birch, deep pine green, charcoal black, and soft ash tones—the Goma Barstool easily adapts to both residential and contract settings, offering elegance and durability in equal measure. Whether in a contemporary dining room, a boutique hotel bar, or a modern kitchen, the Goma Barstool holds its own with understated style and structural integrity.
The designer behind the Goma Barstool, Thomas Sandell, brings a wealth of experience and international recognition to the project. Born in Jakobstad, Finland in 1959, Sandell is one of Scandinavia’s most respected architects and designers. He founded the multidisciplinary firm Sandellsandberg Architects in 1995 and has since built a prolific portfolio that spans from urban masterplans to public buildings, private residences, and furniture. Throughout his career, Sandell has collaborated with prestigious brands such as Swedese, Ikea, B&B Italia, and Cappellini. His work is guided by a deep belief in unity—where every detail is carefully considered as part of the whole.
With the Goma Barstool by Made by Choice, Thomas Sandell has distilled this holistic approach into a singular piece of furniture. The barstool communicates a quiet rigor and sense of place—an authentic expression of New Nordic design. It is a functional object that celebrates both simplicity and sophistication, born from collaboration and executed with care.

What is Scandinavian & Nordic Design?
People from Scandinavia and the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden—and Iceland) obsess over high-quality design, exquisite craftsmanship, and sustainability.
From mid-century modern icons to today's emerging designers, they believe beautiful design improves lives and that intentional consumption can even make us happier.

People from Scandinavia and the Nordic countries self-report higher levels of happiness with their lives than than anywhere else on Earth. Despite cloudy, wet summers and long, cold winter nights, many there find a contentment most of us only wish for.
We are not suggesting that incorporating Scandinavian design in your home will make you happier (wink). But we do believe that making intentional choices about the objects that surround us—their beauty, longevity, and functionality—can improve our daily lives.
What "Scandinavian" philosophies & values?
Nørdikka Collective showcases classic pieces by iconic mid-century designers, alongside work by the region's emerging talent. What unites them is a timeless pursuit of design perfection: form follows function; beauty in minimalism; quality is luxury; and longevity is sustainability.
The term "Scandinavian" isn't just about our objects, but rather the philosophies and values the objects represent. Our partners revere environmental stewardship, value human-centered manufacturing, and work to preserve their cultures' design heritage for future generations.
