I think if the Rubiks Cube had a stylish appeal, it might look something like the 'Object' by Minus Tio. This [cubicle storage space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-modern-shelving) screams both style and luxury. The unit is made from Swedish marble, brass, Corian, glass and oak giving it multiple layers of aesthetic appeal. Different compartments can be opened and closed depending on where you'd like to keep certain items.

The Object by Minus Tio won Wallpaper Design Awards 2011 and is set to debut in the [Stockholm Furniture Fair](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabinet) this spring.
