About the USM Modular Furniture System

How the modular USM Haller Modular Furniture System works
The chrome-plated USM Haller Spheres are the centrepiece of the USM Haller Modular Furniture System. They form the connecting element for the chrome-plated metal tubes, which can be used to create structures of any shape and size. Shelves and panelling elements made of metal or glass are then "pressed" into the basic framework of chrome-plated USM spheres and tubes. This makes it possible to plan USM Haller shelves and boards according to individual specifications, which can also be extended or converted at a later date with the right special tools. There is also a choice of different cabinet doors. The compartments are either left open or fitted with hinged doors or pull-out doors.

USM Haller Colours
The shelves of the USM Haller shelving units can be supplied in all USM standard colours - to suit your individual preferences. Many Colours are in stock in the smow online shop and available for immediate delivery. There is also a large selection of different surfaces and Colours available for USM Haller tables and other USM items, so that the right table can always be configured according to your personal requirements.

USM Haller accessories

USM Haller can be customised not only with its modular basic structure, but also with a wide range of accessories Accessories programmethat increases functionality and organisation in office and living environments. These include, for example, USM Inos boxes for interior organisation, a variety of shelves and racks, partition and organisation modules, such as the USM Privacy Panelsand cable management solutions - all customised to the system's axial dimensions.

USM Haller Soft Panels are textile panels that click effortlessly into the tubular structure using magnets and can be combined in terms of colour and pattern. They create warm, soft accents as a contrast to the classic metal surfaces.

This modularity ensures longevity, as existing elements can continue to be used instead of being completely replaced.

Set the right scene and combine USM Haller shelves and sideboards

If you are looking for inspiration for furnishing with USM Haller furniture, take a look at our furnishing suggestions for the living room, bedroom, study and hallway - or let our smow Community a common question is: Which furniture goes well with USM Haller shelving? The answer: Almost all surfaces and furnishing styles can be combined with the chrome-coloured furniture. The simple elegance of USM Haller metal furniture harmonises perfectly with design and vintage furniture. Try out different combinations and let your creativity run free. The combination of straight-lined USM furniture with natural materials such as wood looks particularly beautiful. An elegant parquet floor or a comfortable leather armchair prove to be perfect antagonists. In the case of the classic Thonet Chair 209/210 not only the wood and wickerwork, but also the curves of the bent wood form a special contrast. Timeless Scandinavian furnishing styles can also be effortlessly combined with the chrome-coloured elements.

The following applies to the bedroom: beds can be simple or ornate, but the best match for a USM Haller bedside cabinet is a no-frills wooden bed in industrial style with clear lines - this emphasises the straightforwardness of the furniture and creates a stylish, harmonious atmosphere. A USM Haller lowboard L forms the ideal finishing touch at the foot end with plenty of storage space.

"Birds of a feather flock together" is also a motto that works well: A piece of USM Haller furniture can be stylishly combined with a chrome-plated Bertoia chair from Knoll International or a Kaiser Idell metal lamp. A perfect match: the Kaiser Idell lights by Fritz Hansen, as Bauhaus lamps, are an important precursor to the post-war functionalism that characterised the design of the USM Haller modular furniture system.
