Chances are, you’ve tried – and maybe succeeded – at the Rubik’s Cube. Patented in 1975, the Rubik’s Cube then made its international debut in 1980 at the New York Toy Fair, and quickly became the best-selling toy in history. But you may not know that Erno Rubik also patented many other successful toys and designs, including the Magic Snake and Rubik’s Magic. His book “Cubed – The Puzzle of Us All” has been published in several countries around the world.

Erno Rubik studied architecture and design in Budapest, Hungary. He is the co-founder of the Hungarian Engineering Academy, the Palace of Marvels, and more recently the Aquincum Institute of Technology (AIT) where his latest public sculpture is also on display. Erno also serves on the board of the Judit Polgar Chess Foundation. A recipient of numerous national and international distinctions, Erno has acted as Ambassador to the European Year of Innovation and Creativity and was a returning member of the European Inventor Award's international jury. He lives in Budapest, Hungary with his wife. They have four children.
