# Pointed Puzzling Bars The Q.Bist Bar Opens Up to Reveal a Sharp and Adaptable Design By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-10-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qbist-bar References: [furniturefashion](http://www.furniturefashion.com/qbist-bar-opinion-ciatti-ultimate-entertaining/) & [opinionciatti](http://www.opinionciatti.com/it/prodotto/58-qbist-bar) It's impossible to ignore the aesthetic sharpness of the Q.Bist Bar, but would you believe that it can also take on a modest and minimalist appearance as well? If you've first observed the Corian and metal piece when opened up, you probably won't have guessed that it could embody such a split personality. The StudioArka design from Opinion Ciatti begins with a [white rectangular prism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/obelisk-3) that has subtly visible seams on its sides that are actually silver hinges. Grip the edges of the illusory block and gently pull it apart; this will reveal a series of connected [triangular compartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-transformation-table) of the Q.Bist Bar that open up as shelves, bins and cubbies for the storage of [wineglasses and bottles of alcohol](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/complete-bar-set). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Adaptable Furniture:** The trend of adaptable furniture offers opportunities for creating multi-functional pieces that can transform to meet different needs. - **Discrete Design:** The trend of discrete design allows for furniture that appears minimalist and unobtrusive, while offering hidden functionality and surprise elements. - **Modular Storage:** The trend of modular storage provides innovative solutions for organizing and storing items in a customizable and space-efficient manner. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Design:** The furniture design industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by creating adaptable pieces that can transform and surprise users. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry can utilize the trend of discrete design to incorporate furniture with hidden functionality, adding an element of surprise and intrigue to spaces. - **Home Organization:** The home organization industry can leverage the trend of modular storage to develop innovative storage solutions that offer customizable and space-efficient options for homeowners. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Versatile Scandinavian-Inspired Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bars.md) - [Offset Shelf Sideboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazy-slice-sideboard-concept.md) - [Twisting CGI-Designed Sideboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookscrew-sideboard.md) - [Cabinet Drawer Wine Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dometic-drawbar.md) - [Hidden Compartment Metallic Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stainless-steel-furniture-set.md) - [Playful Storage Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berto-hidden-secrets.md) - [Intersecting Two-Part Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaolin-side-table.md) - [Sculptural Bar Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-far.md) - [Cabinet-Concealed Modern Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/obelisk-3.md)
