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 Open Shelves + 2 Closed Compartments
This versatile configuration features:
-
4 open shelves – ideal for displaying books, art, collectibles, or decorative objects
-
2 closed compartments – concealed storage for personal items, office essentials, or media accessories
