When it comes to design, simplicity and functionality are key. Alexander Zhukovsky, the renowned designer, embraces this philosophy in his latest creation - Cubix, a unique stationery set that combines form and function in a stylish and practical way.
The inspiration for Cubix came from Zhukovsky's desire to solve the problem of workplace organization. He believes in the principles of "good design - is as little design as possible" by Dieter Rams, and this is evident in the sleek and minimalistic design of Cubix.
What sets Cubix apart from other stationery sets is its shape - a cube consisting of three parts: a box for paper clips, a box for stickers, and a pens holder. The main element of this set is the pens holder, which is made of transparent plastic. This design choice allows the user's attention to be focused on the main element, creating a visually appealing and functional piece.
One of the standout features of Cubix is the flexibility of the red rods in the pens holder. These rods have the unique ability to hold various items at any angle, from pens and pencils of all sizes to paper and stickers. This versatility allows for a personalized and customizable workspace, catering to the individual needs and preferences of the user.
Cubix is made using ABS plastic and a specially formulated silicone composition. The product is manufactured through injection molding, ensuring durability and precision in every detail. With dimensions of 100mm x 100mm x 100mm, Cubix is compact yet spacious enough to hold all your essential stationery items.
Not only does Cubix offer functionality, but it also encourages creativity and interaction. Each component of Cubix can be used independently, allowing for endless possibilities. The small box designed for paper clips can be used to store any small trinkets, while the larger box for stickers can be repurposed for your own needs. The flexible rods in the pens holder enable you to insert any item you desire, further enhancing the user experience.
The Cubix project started in May 2010 in Yekaterinburg, Russia, and was completed in November 2011 in Guangzhou, China. It has received recognition and accolades, including the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award in 2014 for its outstanding and creative design that combines art, science, and technology.
With Cubix, Alexander Zhukovsky has successfully created a stationery set that not only organizes your workspace but also adds a touch of style and innovation. Embrace the organized chaos and elevate your work environment with this functional and aesthetically pleasing design.
