What is Bar Furniture?

In contrast to traditional bar trolleys which are primarily mobile, the term bar furniture encompasses a variety of stationary or flexible pieces of furniture. These include bar cabinets, bar tables, home bars, counter elements, and even mobile bar trolleys. The possible uses are as diverse as the designs: A USM Haller Bar Sideboard Type I with a bottle holder and drop-down door is equally suitable for private kitchens, offices, or lobbies. The Matégot bar cart from Gubi, on the other hand, offers maximum flexibility at home as a mobile bar with retro charm.

Design Styles at a Glance – From Bauhaus to Contemporary

Contemporary

Clean lines, a minimalist look, and sophisticated functionality characterise contemporary bar furniture. The Gastone bar cart by Kartell from 1991 also impresses with its industrial retro charm and rounded shapes. It folds easily, offering exceptional functionality and is ideal for contemporary kitchens and open-plan living areas. The larger version, the foldable Kartell Battista serving cart , also impresses with its versatility and light, urban style.

Classic & Elegant

High-quality materials, curved shapes, sophisticated details and subtle colours create a timeless elegance in classic bar furniture. The Grace serving cart from Schönbuch lives up to its name, combining a delicate metal structure with glass and wood. It adds an elegant touch to stylishly furnished living rooms or reception areas.

Mid-century Modern

The Mid-century style is characterised by organic and geometric forms, refined lines, and a characteristic lightness. A prime example of French post-war design from the 1950s is the Matégot serving trolley by the Danish manufacturer Gubi, designed by Mathieu Matégot. Its shelves made of perforated sheet steel are held by a delicate frame. The AJ Trolley by Fritz Hansen from 1955, designed by Arne Jacobsen, also fits seamlessly into the midcentury context. This is ensured by its clear, geometric form, characteristic material aesthetic, and functional versatility.

Bauhaus-inspired

Functionality, modularity and a clear design language are the hallmarks of Bauhaus-style bar furniture. While USM Haller's bar furniture isn't Bauhaus furniture, it does embrace Bauhaus principles: It's modular, individually configurable, and made of powder-coated metal and chrome-plated steel or brass elements – from fixed bar elements to mobile coffee stations. Tecta also remains committed to the Bauhaus heritage. The mobile Bar Cart M4R impresses with its functional design, chrome-plated frame, and glass shelves. Functional and designed in the iconic Bauhaus look, a real eye-catcher.

Versatile – Bar Furniture for Different Rooms

Bar furniture is a true all-rounder: It combines practical functionality with stylish design and can be flexibly integrated into a wide variety of spaces – from private living rooms to professional reception areas. Here are some inspiring examples with matching furniture:

Home Bar in the Living Room
The M4R bar cart from Tecta or a custom-configured USM Haller bar sideboard become an elegant eye-catcher in living rooms and kitchens. Both versions offer ample storage space for bottles, glasses, and bar accessories – and invite you to enjoy a stylish aperitif or a convivial evening.

Reception counter with character
Even in reception or waiting areas, modular USM Haller bar furniture offers a sophisticated way to combine storage space and structure with a clear design. They simultaneously convey value and a sense of style, making them ideal for presenting a company to customers and business partners.

Materials & Colours – Bar Furniture with a Personal Touch

Bar furniture is available in many high-quality materials that blend harmoniously with a variety of interior design styles:

Metal and glass represent a modern, clean look – for example, with USM Haller, Gubi, or Tecta. Both materials are easy to clean, durable, and, with proper care, resistant to stains and moisture.

Solid wood and veneers convey warmth and are ideal for Scandinavian or classic interiors. Teak is also a good example: It combines a sophisticated, natural look with high weather resistance – making it ideal for outdoor use.

Powder-coated metal in vibrant colours brings freshness and is particularly robust, scratch-resistant, and weather-resistant – ideal for outdoor areas, such as those from Fermob or Cane-line.

The palette ranges from cool metallic tones to warm wooden surfaces to neutral and bold colours. This allows bar furniture to be individually adapted to different room concepts and design preferences.
