The 'Wood Kubb' is a stylish, hand-crafted alternative to your typical computer.
Most desktop computers have large, loud PC towers attached to them, often creating a visual eyesore that takes up way too much space. These complaints have been around for years, which facilitated the creation of the Wood Kubb, a sleek, wooden device meant to replace the old bulky CPU.
In partnership with Intel, a miniature motherboard was created to fit the small frame. The latest technologies allowed the Wood Kubb to utilize the smallest, most compact processing units to fit within its body.
All the hardware is then fitted in a small, wooden cube made by cabinet makers. Aesthetically, each computer is unique and its color depends on the type of tree used to harvest its wood. To finish it off, natural wood tones and veins makes the device look like a piece of furniture instead of a functional computer.
