Discover the timeless elegance of the USM Haller 1960s 3×2 Black Storage Unit, an authentic piece of modernist design history. Originally created in 1963 by Swiss architects Fritz Haller and Paul Schaerer, the USM Haller system quickly became an icon of Swiss modular furniture design. This rare 3×2 configuration showcases the brand’s signature craftsmanship with powder-coated black steel panels and polished chrome tubular framing, offering both strength and sophisticated style.

Designed with versatility in mind, this mid-century modern storage cabinet works seamlessly as a media console, credenza, or display unit, making it a functional yet collectible investment for design lovers. The modular construction ensures durability that can span generations, while the minimalist lines embody the Bauhaus-inspired principles of form and function.

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.

3×2 Black Configuration
This 3×2 configuration (3 units wide, 2 units high) provides generous storage with a clean, balanced silhouette. The black finish offers a bold, sophisticated presence that commands attention while remaining versatile enough for any interior.

Powder-Coated Black Steel Panels
The powder-coated black steel panels offer a durable, scratch-resistant finish with a sophisticated matte appearance. The black color creates a striking contrast with the chrome frame.

Polished Chrome Tubular Frame
The signature polished chrome tubular frame and patented ball connectors provide striking contrast against the black panels, catching light beautifully and highlighting the geometric precision of the modular grid.
