About Us Image Videoshoot

Sheyn.

is a Vienna-based design studio, founded by Nicolas Gold and Markus Schaffer.
The studio utilizes the tools and thinking of architecture to create fully digital designs for the nape of your neck, that place on your desk, your little finger and everywhere else in your life that could be a bit more Sheyn. Each piece is created using state-of-the-art modeling and fabrication techniques.
The word Sheyn, itself, means beautiful in Yiddish. It was created through cultural exchange and a longing for beauty – like all of our products.

Sheyn. Tiny architecture for home and body

The future of architecture can fit in the smallest room of your apartment. For decades, avant-garde architects have fussed over the tiniest details of furniture and fixtures. But this obsession with designing for the smallest spaces has now collided with the democratisation of modern technologies like open source 3D modeling and printing to produce a new kind of architecture that can fit in the palm of your hand, or the corner of your coffee table. Join us in one of the biggest growing fields in the world – smallness. 

Smallness

We obsess over finding beauty in small places – getting details right.

Goodness

We strive for the very highest levels of quality – pushing the limits of technology and craft.

Consciousness

We design and build for the future – keeping our products sustainable and green.

Colourfulness

Colour makes every little thing unique – understanding different is beautiful, and beautiful is Sheyn.

The power of smallness. Tiny Architecture

Sheyn Homeware is designed and 3D printed in our studio in Vienna. Each surprisingly light and sturdy shape is constructed from thousands of tiny patterns that provide structural integrity and touchable texture. With 100% PLA, material made from corn, every piece is sustainable, renewable and recyclable.

A tiny team. With a big dream
