What is the Fube?

Companies · Product ideas

Original Fube.com research, corrected for typos and unfinished notes. The findings are unchanged.

The Fube was drawn as a consumer object, not a company.

It is an 18-inch cube with rounded corners, light at 3 to 5 pounds, with a soft but tough shell. It was meant to be structurally solid, naturally insulated, and waterproof, and sold in several primary colors.

Alone, it is a chair, a side table, a footrest, a stand, or a step stool.

Stacked, the same cubes become jumbo blocks, a coffee table, a bench, a dividing wall, or a platform.

The product never shipped. The description is what a buyer of the name is inheriting: a cube, and nothing else attached to the word.

This note is part of the record behind a 4-letter .com for sale.
