Art. Lebedev’s Cubistorus is a simple modular storage system that can be easily configured in a variety of ways. The cubes can be stacked and secured from all four sides with specially designed clips that are extremely easy to attach and remove. The design was released on April 30^th but availability is not yet clear on Art. Lebedev’s site. More images after the break.

Designed by Artemy Lebedev, the talented designer behind the Art. Lebedev Studio in Russia, the Verbarius is the first clock that actually tells time the way we—humans—are used to: It replaces the analog hand movement and the traditional digital numeric display with phrases like “five minutes to ten” and “fifteen minutes past five”. It comes with 5 preloaded languages (English, German, Spanish, French and Russian), but more languages can be programmed using the USB connector on the back. All its gadgetry aside, I love its strong minimalist look. More images after the break

Sides

An ingenious modification of the traditional “H” that represents the Hour setup button on one side allows it to be easily understood in Russian as well as most other languages, and a cute “tongue” emoticon serves as the language selection button on the other.
