Prism USB Hub ‘Spectrus’ Serves As An Artistic Ultimatum
March 5, 2009
The fact that we don’t see much good Russian design is not (necessarily) due to the fact that there isn’t much, more that it is smothered by the vast amounts emanating from Japan and the US. But the relatively small company of ‘Art Lebedev’ likes to buck the trend, and they have produced something of real artistic worth with their new USB hub: the Spectrus.
Influenced by prisms this triangular USB hub offers seven new USB ports that have their individual ‘rainbow’ colour creating something that is not only striking but pretty appealing.

This Transformers All Spark USB Hub should go down well with you if you’re a fan of the recent Transformers movie – which I personally thought was a great fun movie! That being the case, it’s nice to see some merchandise out there that aren’t just Transformers Movie toys of the robots for the kids, something for us bigger kids!
Any fan of the first Transformers movie will know that this was the object that had the ability to ‘transform’ regular day-to-day objects into actual transforming robots. If you buy this cool looking USB hub it will now replace your boring run-of-the-mill USB hub you’ve got sat on your desk into an All Spark USB hub – the question is, what will you do if your computer transforms?…
