About Inka Cube.
Inka Cube™, born from a deep respect for ancient wisdom and a love for modern design, Inka Cube™ is the evolution of an idea that began humbly in 2001 with a single geometric sketch inspired by the sacred Chakana—the Incan symbol of balance, cosmos, and earth.
Over the years, that 2D spiritual motif transformed into a revolutionary 3D vertex cube, introducing a new layer of challenge and beauty to the world of twisty puzzles. Today, the Inka Cube™ stands as a unique variation of the classic Rubik’s Cube—same purpose, but reimagined with ingenious corner truncations that make each move more dynamic, each solution more poetic.
More than a puzzle, the Inka Cube is a tribute to Andean engineering, mysticism, and mathematics—a tangible blend of culture and creativity. This spirit lives on not only in our cubes but in our growing collection of Chakana-inspired jewelry, artisan-crafted candles, home décor pieces, and collectible art—each carrying the same DNA of sacred geometry and modern craft.
We invite you to explore the world of Inka Cube™, where ancient knowledge turns, clicks, and reveals itself—one vertex at a time.
The Creators.
At the heart of Inka Cube™ lies a story of sacred geometry, creative passion, and unlikely collaboration—a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern genius.
The seed was planted over a decade ago, when Kay, a creative artist and designer from Cusco, Peru, became mesmerized by the timeless structure of the Chakana—the ancient Inka cross believed to date back over 10,000 years. This symbol, rooted in deep cosmic and spiritual meaning, became more than a motif. It became a calling. Kay envisioned a new form of the Chakana—not just in two dimensions, but reinterpreted as a 3D vertex-transformed cube with powerful symbolism and architectural logic.
From this vision, the Inka Cube was born. A bold variation of the classic Rubik’s Cube, it incorporates ingeniously truncated corners—a structural twist that makes each turn more engaging, more beautiful, and more symbolic.
But it wasn’t just imagination that brought this idea to life—it took partnership.
At only 22 years old, Kay's breakthrough design caught the attention of Oskar van Deventer, one of the world’s most respected puzzle designers and a legend in the world of mechanical creativity. With his unmatched experience in twisty geometry and mechanical logic, Oskar joined forces with Kay to help refine and engineer the cube's movement into a functional masterpiece. Without his generosity, vision, and expertise, this dream might have remained only a concept.
Together, they crafted not only a puzzle, but a symbol—one that has extended far beyond the cube. Today, the Inka Cube™ design inspires a full range of objects including jewelry, lamps, candles, ceramics, and decorative art, all infused with the same Andean geometry and storytelling essence.
This is more than a product—it is a tribute to ancient brilliance, youthful entrepreneurship, and the magic that happens when cultures and minds collaborate across continents and centuries.
Welcome to Inka Cube™. Ancient power. Modern form.

Cube History.
Foundation.
In 1974, Hungarian professor Ernő Rubik invented the original cube as a teaching tool to explain 3D spatial geometry
First Cubes.
Released globally in 1980 as the Rubik’s Cube, it became a worldwide sensation and the best-selling puzzle toy of all time.
Cube Expansion.
The 2000s saw a renaissance of cube variations with new shapes, sizes, and solving mechanisms, from 2x2s to 17x17s and beyond.
New Cubes.
Legendary designer Oskar van Deventer revolutionized the puzzle world with complex, twisty mechanical innovations like the Gear Cube and Curvy Copter, blending engineering artistry with solving challenges never seen before.
Mission and Values.
To inspire minds through the power of ancient geometry, transforming sacred Inkan design principles into modern, meaningful objects that challenge, engage, and elevate human creativity.
Our mission is rooted in the belief that the wisdom of ancient civilizations—particularly the profound geometric understanding of the Inka—holds timeless relevance. Through reinterpreting the sacred Chakana and other ancestral forms, we craft products that are both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.
Each creation, from the Inka Cube™ to our jewelry and decorative art, is designed not just to delight the senses, but to awaken curiosity, spark problem-solving, and invite deeper connection with the invisible mathematics and cosmology that shaped the Andean world.
We aim to bridge the past and the present—where every object is a story, every turn a discovery, and every design a tribute to enduring human ingenuity.
