Smashable Steel Cubes

The REcube Company Helps People Express Raw Emotions in a Healthy Way

— June 3, 2021 — Art & Design
The REcube Company is introducing a limited collection of smashable raw steel cubes this year so that people can release pent-up emotions in a healthy way that also creates a unique art piece in the process. With this release, the company is dedicated to "bridging the gap between luxury experiences and women's empowerment as each cube is designed to be bashed with a sledgehammer and turned into a contemporary art piece as a reminder that even the hardest of times can be turned into something beautiful."

There are four Limited Edition REcubes that will be introduced, REclaim, REdirection, RElief, and Revolutionary, each of which comes with a certificate of authenticity, plus a hammer, earplugs, gloves, safety glasses and other essentials for a safe smashing experience.
Trend Themes
1. Emotional Release Art - By combining emotional release and art, there is an opportunity to create unique experiences that can be cathartic for consumers.
2. Luxury Empowerment - The marriage of luxury experiences and social empowerment presents a disruption opportunity for industries that can create unique products and sense of self-worth for consumers.
3. Functional Art - With the idea of art now extending to include functional items such as raw steel cubes, industries could combine traditional aesthetic value with practical benefits.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Home Décor - By incorporating the concept of raw steel cubes as art with practical use, home décor companies can create unique, yet artistic decor for the home that serves a dual purpose.
2. Therapeutic Services - The combination of emotional release and art could attract potential customers who are looking for innovative ways to express themselves and/or reduce stress, creating a disruption in the traditional approach to therapy services.
3. Luxury Experience Providers - The opportunity to combine luxury experiences with empowerment-like activities such as smashing raw steel cubes can disrupt the traditional notion of what a luxury experience looks like to consumers.
