QMB, Quad Micro Bar

The QMB is a four seat micro bar that can be used for a variety of social seating scenarios, including dining, enjoying beverages or as a work surface while standing or sitting. Tables and chairs are cumbersome, space consuming assemblies that take up extra space when the chairs are not in use. If you don't need four chairs, why not have the option of only setting out what is required, even a table without any chairs? Multi-functionality is the driving trend behind most new products and a bar/chair configuration should be able to blend both functions into a single unified component. Also, check out QMB MAX which includes and on-board 10' Pop Up display that fits inside and folds out for trade shows and promotional events. http://www.core77designawards.com/2013/award_category/diy/
