Asymmetrical geometric panels open up to reveal hidden storage in this ultra-minimalist Lazarz, Poland apartment. Black lines slice through the stark white space, criss-crossing the room. Inlaid with custom lighting fixtures on the ceiling, the lines also create unexpected shapes in the cabinet doors that cover personal items like books and the television.

Working with a limited budget of just €8,000 (roughly $11,000), Mili Mlodzi Ludzie architects came up with an incredibly creative solution that meets the client’s expectations for minimalism while also integrating plenty of storage. What looks, at first glance, like a very bare space, actually conceals all of the clutter accumulated by the average apartment dweller.

Even a desk and the kitchen are hidden behind these geometric panels. The only color in the apartment comes from a throw rug in the living area.

The dramatic, eye-catching black lines are echoed and accentuated by streamlined monochromatic furniture and a slim black ladder leading to a sleeping loft.

Flexibility is always a key point when you’re furnishing your workspace or entertaining at home. The Quad Mini Bar, or QMB, from designer Joe Warren is the perfect solution for small spaces that occasionally need to be just a little bigger.

The QMB is a smallish piece of furniture that can be used in a surprising number of ways. First, it can be used as a standing workstation – which we all know by now is better for us than sitting all day. But if you get tired of standing and need to sit for a while, you can pull out one of the four attached seats.

When your friends or coworkers decide to come over and join you, three additional chairs pull out from the central base. They lock into place securely and are just the right height for either working or socializing.

An internal shelf also lets you store work equipment, bar supplies, or whatever else you need to get off of the tabletop. The QMB is an ingenious alternative to a conventional desk in the office or a traditional dining room set in the home. You only use up as much space as you need at that moment, and when not in use the QMB’s footprint is small enough for just about any space.
