New York-based Designfenzider sells the Clipped Cube for $300 each. While we can't see ourselves affording that for the beautiful brass originals, we do like the idea. The cubes support long-stemmed cut flowers that are contained in your own glass container within the armature. We'd make our own cubes by...

...cutting model-making basswood to length, gluing, and then painting. While this probably won't have the longevity of Designfenzider's product, it won't have to at an estimated price of $12. Whether going for the real thing or DIY'ing, we love the hard-edged cubes against organic stems.
