LaCie Huby- Stylish USB Hub?

The LaCie Huby designer must’ve been inspired by Medusa’s hairstyle. Instead of snakes growing out of its head, The Huby has four USB ports, two FireWire ports, a light and fan. LaCie’s brought in Ora-Ito to work on the “futuristic design.”
Hubs should simplify user’s workspace, and stay out of the way, not try to become a focal point. I can’t imagine how hideous this thing will look on a desk with 6 cables plugged in, some extension cables running to your devices, plus some cables running from it to your notebook.
”Even something as simple as a hub can be viewed as a design object. LaCie Huby’s unique shape sets it apart from any other hub on the market,”says Alexis Kobassian, LaCie Product Manager. “It serves a function, but we also hope it sparks conversation about technology and design.”
The Lacie Huby will sell for $79.99 later this month.
