USM Modular
Furniture has a clear, but understated appearance. It is a style that leaves a
distinct impression. USM style furniture is not only featured in a collection
within the Museum of Modern Art in New York but it is also recognized as a work
of applied art. USM style furniture is a Swiss family furniture company known
throughout the world, the best way to bring out the simplicity and balance of
the modular tables and shelves that would otherwise blend seamlessly in any
interior setting. USM Haller created by Professor Haller is a modular shelving
and storage system that can be adapted seamlessly to changing needs and
lifestyles where it is extended almost endlessly where required. USM style
furniture derives appeal from the fact that it is designed and manufactured as
industrial pieces that stand the test of time, while still permitting a maximum
amount of fluidity and customization for any application. Because the world is
in motion, so are the modular furniture systems by USM style furniture.
Consisting
of different chrome tubes, colored metal insert panels and the remarkable
chrome ball joints, the versatile modular furniture can easily be converted
from, say, a sideboard to a bookshelf. These can be fitted under sloped
ceilings or serve as a room divider in overly large spaces. And if ever should
an element be damaged, it can easily be replaced and easy to disassemble. The
original concept of Deutschland USM Style Furniture was incredibly simple because, it uses
the minimum number of components to make the largest number of possible
permutations as possible. The system was based around a simple chromed brass
ball joint and was drilled with six holes, allowing for a frame that could be
built in any square or rectangular format. This idea of a ball joint was not new.
Ball joints are already being used for many applications at that time, notably
in the exhibition industry to form space frames for display stands, which could
be assembled and disassembled for transport to the next exhibition or trade
shows. Since 1995, the design team at the factory have continued to bring out
new designs and accessories every year.
These have
been primarily focused on electrical add-ons or accessories. Professor Haller’s
original design for the storage elements that carry his name have for the most
part remained unchanged, which is a testament to his ingenuity in creating a
flexible system for residential, commercial and retail applications, using just
a few industrially available components. USM is proud to have received many
national and international awards. Too many designers today want to reinvent
the wheel. What Professor Haller did was take standard industrially available
components straight off the shelf and incorporate them intelligently to produce
a vast array of options that others had missed. With Deutschland USM Style Furniture, the
interior implementation of the house needs to be entirely reconsidered, as well
as the office furniture and decor. This Swiss family company that has set forth
for 130 years with an innovative approach of quality and sustainability renews,
indeed, ingenuity of the modular conception of its furniture based on the
assembling of metallic tubes and connection balls.
