Vienna-based designer Nicolas Gold works together with Zaha Hadid to build Sheyn along with his partner Markus Shaffer to create 'Tiny Furniture.' It is a range of homeware that is designed with the expertise of architects. It is a collection of detailed homeware that is made from 3D-printed technology. It includes bowls, planters, vases, and lighting. All of these are made using light and corn-sourced recyclable bioplastic.
Sheyn explains the project, stating "This obsession with designing for the smallest spaces has now collided with the democratization of modern technologies like open-source 3D modeling and 3D printing to produce a new kind of architecture that can fit in the palm of your hand or the corner of your table."
