None that I can think of. A cube is a three-dimensional object, while circles are two-dimensional.

It is possible in topology where a sphere that can be considered as an infinite collection of circles is equivalent to a cube. Geometry means that we can measure angles and lengths. This makes it impossible to get something edgy out of something round.

Not that we haven't tried: (##\sim 3,000 - 2,000 \text{ BC}##)
