Flotspotting: Joe Warren's Quad Micro Bar

By Rain Noe - March 22, 2013

Joe Warren's QMB, or Quad Micro Bar, is nifty way to seat four in a temporary setting. Washington-based industrial designer Warren observed that "bars and chairs are cumbersome, space-consuming assemblies that take up extra space when they are not in use," and set out to design a piece of furniture whose footprint was shrinkable.

The QMB is made from natural growth forest products and uses non-polluting dyes, retaining that American Northwest healthy-living vibe. And while I'm not sure about the price point from a consumer perspective—Warren's aiming for $700 a pop on Kickstarter—I could see a bunch of these rolling off of a catering truck for on-site events.

I would like to have 10 of them but I cant afford 700.00 a pop. Restaurant use.

Can I get 8 of these for my classroom and get rid of all the clunky desks? These would make for a great classroom make-over! I'm game!
