Reading Time: 3 minutesSebastian spent some time working on the design and aesthetic of the cube, although ‘technically’ it’s not a cube, as he explains. “Since the cube is designed to be stationary and usually only viewed from one side, it is not actually a complete LED cube, but only has three sides with LED matrix panels.
