It seems to be a professor's pet sculpture, not an accepted mathematical term.

The term "cube" generally refers to objects with right angles between
their sides. In two dimentional space that is a square, or a
four-sided figure. In one dimentional space it is a point (like every
other shape except for the line) and has two sides: one in each
direction of the dimension. Exersize to the reader why the
four-dimensional cube has 18 sides!
