  Darwin's Cube is a modular pattern base designed by David Mitchell. Many contrast pattern cubes can be developed from this base by bringing out some or all of the hidden flaps. The modular structure of Darwin's Cube is directly analogous to the modular structure of the Sonobe Cube.

  Heinz Strobl's Cube is a very strong modular cube made from three long strips arranged in a Borromean relationship. Strobl Cubes can be linked together by threading them onto other strips to form many interesting macro-modular structures.

  David Mitchell's Intermediate Cube is a very strong design made from six fairly complex modules (which occur as 'intermediate folds' in the Enigma Base folding sequence) by interweaving the arms to form the top layer of the faces.
     
  The Simplex Cube is a robust and versatile design by David Mitchell. Like Sonobe modules, Simplex modules can be used to construct any form whose faces are either squares, or silver triangles, or a combination of the two.

  David Mitchell's Mondrian Cube is an attractive decorative variation of the 12-part Corner-Pocket Sonobe Cube. The relative proportions of the small and large squares within the pattern can easily be varied.
     
  David Mitchell's Two Fold Cube is made from a two fold module first used by Tony O'Hare. The cube design is achieved by combining three square-section tubes in a Borromean relationship.

  The Hosoya/Tsak-man Cube is an elegant 2-part design which was originated independently by Haruo Hosoya (in Japan) and Ho Tsak-man (in the USA). It is not known which of the two discovered the design first.
     
  The design of David Mitchell's Eureka Cube depends almost entirely on the division of the diagonal of the square into thirds, a procedure which not only determines the shape and proportions of the modules but which also almost automatically produces the tabs and pockets that hold them together. Eureka, indeed!

  2 into 1 is a modular assembly puzzle designed by David Mitchell. The four modules (each of which is itself a traditional Japanese single-piece paperfold) can be assembled in a straightforward way to make two cubes, then taken apart and re-assembled to form just one.
     
  There are many 3-part cubes in the origami literature but this design by David Mitchell is unusual because of the way the surface of the cube is divided among the modules. While each of the visible faces is divided into two areas of different colours, each of the hidden faces is homogeneous, with the result that the cube looks entirely different when viewed from the opposite angle.
