SHEYN · Nicolas Gold
Nicolas Gold designed the Bloz & Boyk Blend Set as the most daring colour-accent duo in the collection – made on demand in his Vienna studio.
Nicolas Gold created two vase forms for the 2026 Blend Collection at the SHEYN studio in Vienna that together place the strongest colour accent of the entire series: Bloz with its blob-like asymmetry and Boyk with a bulbous silhouette that reads differently from every angle. Both measure 65 × 65 × 65 mm, weigh 200 g as a set and are produced on demand from 50 % recycled PLA by FDM 3D printing in Vienna. The Blend effect – a dramatic green-to-pink/red gradient across the entire surface – makes Watermelon the most maximalist and visually powerful colourway of the collection, which was nominated for the International Design Awards in 2025.
Bloz and Boyk are conceived as a formal pair: Bloz appears compact, almost monolithic – an object that seems to convince through its weight, yet is light in the hand. Boyk works with curvature and gentle asymmetry, shifting its silhouette depending on the viewing angle. Side by side on a shelf, both share the same design language while deliberately carrying different visual weights.
The Watermelon gradient is the most intense in the Sheyn Blend Collection: the surface moves from vivid green through to deep pink and red. It is the maximalist choice of the three C&M colourways – the strongest colour accent in the entire series and intended for interiors that use colour as a deliberate design statement. The exact colour distribution varies subtly from piece to piece due to the 50 % recycled PLA content – an inherent material characteristic, not a production inconsistency.
Technically the collection is based on FDM 3D printing from PLA, a plant-based polymer from corn or sugarcane. On-demand production at the Vienna studio eliminates stockpiling and overproduction. A high-quality removable glass insert is included in the set – the PLA housing itself is not waterproof.

Which interior style suits Watermelon?
The Watermelon gradient is the most maximalist of the Blend Collection and works best in eclectic, vibrant, or deliberately colourful interiors – as a single contrast point on an otherwise neutral shelf or as part of a bolder, colour-led composition. For strictly minimalist interiors, the Peppermint or Slate colourways offer a more restrained alternative within the collection.
How should the Bloz and Boyk duo be arranged?
Bloz Mini and Boyk Mini were designed as a pair and work best displayed side by side or at varying heights. The contrasting silhouettes – asymmetric blob versus rounded sphere – complement rather than compete. A slight offset on a tray or shelf introduces movement into the composition.
Is 3D-printed PLA suitable as a long-term interior object?
PLA is a stable and durable material under normal indoor conditions – room temperature, no prolonged direct sunlight. Sheyn uses FDM printing with high wall thickness; the objects are designed for continuous decorative use. Heat sources above 70 °C and prolonged direct sunlight should be avoided.
Are the vases suitable for dried flowers, pampas grass, or fresh cut stems?
The mini vases are designed for slender stems and single blooms – well suited for dried flowers, pampas grass tufts, or single cut stems. The included glass insert allows fresh water as well. The narrow opening holds light dried material in position without additional fixatives.
What does “Blend” mean for Sheyn?
The term “Blend” refers to the seamless colour gradient that Sheyn creates directly within the FDM 3D-printing process. Unlike painted or coated objects, the gradient is part of the material structure itself – it does not peel, fade, or change with handling. The Blend Collection was nominated for the International Design Awards in 2025.
Where is Sheyn stocked internationally?
The Sheyn Blend Collection is stocked at the South Bank Centre London, Becker Minty in Australia, and LUMAS – venues known for curated design objects with a strong authorial voice. The IDA nomination in 2025 confirms the international reception of the collection as a serious design object beyond trend-driven decorative ware.
