Story
An idea that became a design
The page describes Mex Cube as an intuition turned into a project, a graceful succession of variations on a theme in which each shape follows the rhythms of daily life and conversation.
Many arrangements
The sheet says the independent cubes can be arranged as corner units, in a line, as an island or face to face.
