Designer of the USM Haller table is Fritz Haller. Born on October 23rd 1924 in Solothurn, Switzerland Fritz Haller was primarily an architect and no furniture designer; although it was without question his architectural training which enabled him to create the System USM Haller modular furniture system. Having built an office building for the company U. Schärer Söhne Fritz Haller was asked by company boss Paul Schärer to develop a furniture system for the offices. That the office building had been built according to Haller's MiniMidiMaxi system - a construction system that enabled buildings in three sizes to be built on the same principles - Fritz Haller reduced this system further to create storage cabinets for U. Schärer Söhne. Although developed for U. Schärer Söhne's own use word of the system quickly spread and before too long the company were receiving orders from around the globe. In addition to becoming a international design classic and commercial success the USM Haller system has also been recognised with numerous awards and inclusion in the MoMA New York permanent collection.

The history of USM begins long, long before the creation of the storage system for which they are world famous. In 1885 Ulrich Schärer established a metalworks and ironmongery business in the village of Münsingen near Bern in Switzerland. The co-operation with Fritz Haller arose when in the 1960s Ulrich Schärer's son Paul Schärer commissioned Fritz Haller to build a new production hall and administrative building for the expanding company. Included in the commission was furniture for the administrative building. The mass production of the furniture began in the late 1960s after the Rothschild Bank used USM furniture for their Paris HQ. From that commission followed untold more, and in 2001 a place in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Fritz Haller designed the USM Haller modular furniture system in the 1960s, and so at a time when functionalism had the say in international design. For protagonists of the movement technical, functional aspects took priority over aesthetic forms, all unnecessary ornamentation and decoration being rejected. Or to keep it short: Form followed function. Although not a new philosophy in the wake of the second world war "Form follows function" received a new prominence, not least because it allowed objects to be produced in larger numbers and in shorter times than had previously been the case. Fritz Haller's multi functional architecture and furniture systems perfectly reflect this thinking. As the USM Haller table with its reduced, almost minimalist form, more than ably demonstrates.
