Design Details

The USM Haller System
The USM Haller modular system was born from a collaboration between Swiss architect Fritz Haller and USM founder Paul Schaerer. Tasked with designing a new factory building for USM in Münsingen, Switzerland, they developed a flexible construction system based on a modular grid of steel tubes and patented ball connectors. The system proved so successful that it was adapted for furniture – and the USM Haller collection was born in 1963.

4×2 Ruby Red Configuration
This 4×2 configuration (4 units wide, 2 units high) provides a generous footprint with a clean, balanced silhouette. The Ruby Red finish is a rare and highly sought-after color in the USM Haller palette – bold, vibrant, and energetic.

2 Drop-Down Doors + Open Shelving
The console features a thoughtful layout:

• 2 drop-down doors in the center – discreet concealed storage for media, books, or personal items

• Open shelving on both ends – perfect for display or easy access

Chrome-Plated Steel Frame
The signature chrome-plated steel frame and patented ball connectors provide striking contrast against the Ruby Red panels, catching light beautifully and highlighting the geometric precision of the modular grid.

Excellent Vintage Condition
Presented in excellent vintage condition – the chrome-plated steel frame and panels retain a bright finish with only minimal wear consistent with age.

Made in Switzerland
Crafted in Switzerland, this USM Haller console reflects the exceptional manufacturing standards associated with Swiss precision and quality.
