V-CUBE PRODUCTS
Introduction
So innovative, that changed the world of cubes. V-CUBE™ products are a uniquely designed and constructed series of rotational cubes. They are manufactured under the unified V-CUBE™ technology, invented and patented worldwide by the Greek Engineer Panagiotis VERDES. V-CUBE™ technology made possible the construction of a Cube with an unlimited number of layers, providing safe and smooth rotation. The revolutionary approach led to an innovative construction that permitted the production beyond five-layered cubes something that was believed to be unattainable for over 20 years! At the same time, V-CUBE™ unified technology has resulted in the design & industrial production of much more durable and user friendly cubes of existing sizes and introduced the “pillow” cube design. Furthermore, V-CUBE™ innovative stylish approach to print directly on the cube’s surface introduces border-less creations of popular subjects and effectively explodes the Cube to an infinite level. V-CUBE™ products are addressed to kids and parents, students and teachers, professionals and artists, tourists and museum lovers, companies and licensees. Their unique features allow literally everyone to enjoy them, regardless the level of difficulty or experience and establish V-CUBE™ as the “21st Century Cube”.

V-CUBE™ ILLUSION
seven-layered cube
The V-CUBE™ 7 “Illusion” is now available offering a different challenge! It is made up of two colored cubies, making a checkerboard scheme on the cube, which may look effortless to solve, but look again, hence its name V-CUBE™ 7 “Illusion”! This game concept is new and unique! Cubers who enjoy a little less intensified challenge will enjoy this cube and help build up cubing skills. There is a special trick for the solution of the V-CUBE™7 “Illusion”. Five sides of this cube have a full checkerboard scheme. However the 6th side (”the special side”) has a reversed checkerboard pattern. Solving this particular side of the V-CUBE™7 “Illusion” will automatically solve the rest of the cube. It is as if you are solving just one side of of a regular six-colored cube!!! You can enjoy the challenge of solving this bi-colored cube yourself, and you can give it also to your friends, family and co-workers as pleasant home or office decor that they will be able to use and brag about! The V-CUBE™7 “Illusion” is currently availlable in four different color variations, to encompass a more broad range of color preference!
