Yube cubes can be configured and decorated to create endless furniture options that can expand and grow with every individual’s personal taste and space. Consumers can configure, build and decorate a layout to suit their personal taste using Yube’s flexible building-block system to create tables, desks, shelves, room-dividers and any piece.
The European-styled Yube modules are 13-inch cubes made exclusively of recyclable and biodegradable materials. The modules snap together easily and lock rigidly when the back panel is slid into place. This unique furniture system can then be personalized using Yube’s wide range of fun and funky accessories –doors, feet, shelves and drawers.
Yube cubes can be stacked horizontally and vertically in any configuration, including back-to-back, side-by-side and top-to-bottom. Yube can be decorated with colour and images. Panels can be stenciled or painted and an online application allows consumers to upload any image and create a unique door. New Yubes can be purchased and added to existing structures making Yube endlessly variable and expandable. Yube cubes can be configured to create furniture for living area/family room, office/craft room, bedroom, kitchen children’s rooms, man cave, dorm room and garage.
Yube comes with accessories including Set of feet; Doors in various colors, including white, red, and frosted polyglass; Customizable door that features a user’s personal graphics, including a photo or school logo; Shelves; and Storage drawers.
Yube was previewed at the 2010 International Home and Housewares Show where it was one of the 26 new products awarded the Design Defined designation. Yube was also recognized for ‘demonstrating a commitment to design and innovation as a strategic competitive advantage in the marketplace.’
The Yube is ecologically friendly. Panels are made using reconstituted sugar cane waste fibers. The frames are made of ‘Woodlite’, a moldable thermoplastic mixed with fiber made from bamboo and timber waste material.
Yube cubes are priced starting at $29.50 each. Accessories, including doors, feet, shelves and drawers range from $9.75—$28.75.
