Apparently, there’s no good reason for ubber bands to be round. This news is a little life changing, so take a moment to digest. Y’good? Okay. The Japanese designers at Nendo have developed a working cubic rubber band. They recently developed a series of reimagined stationary goods that includes inventive paper clips, rulers and notebooks, but the rubber bands are bonkers.

With these Nendo rubber bands, you might not even want to hide them in your desk drawer. And you’d definitely think twice before tossing one in the trash — a set of three retails at about $10.
