USM introduces its first online shop to the UK

For the first time, customers in the UK will be able to order furniture directly from the USM website…

A carefully curated selection of beautiful pieces from USM, such as credenzas and bedside tables, can now be ordered in the UK and delivered directly in just three weeks.

USM Haller celebrates its 55th birthday in 2020 a testament to the timeless qualities of this exceptional modular furniture system. The success of USM is due to its simple yet ingenious design. From a few basic components a beautiful and iconic piece of furniture is built, USM Haller has been designed to grow with its environment ever changing needs, no matter what room it has been designed for.

It is the Swiss precision in which the components are made that give the furniture the strength, versatility and clean lines that have made USM Haller a design classic. Launched on to the market in 1965 the USM Haller system has become a watchword for timeless design all over the world. In 1988 it was decided in Germany for the first time ever that the USM Haller furniture system is a work of applied art and should be protected by copyright. Its acceptance into the Design Collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York (USA) at the end of 2001 was a high distinction and confirmed the artistic character of the product. The design classic is used in offices, hospitality and public buildings and increasingly in the style conscious home.

The USM online shop offering consists of 24 built pieces of furniture, ranging from a small bedside table to a two unit wide and three unit tall credenza. All products are available in the signature 14 colours which range from monochromes to pops of colours including golden yellow and a gentian blue. The collection also features three pieces of Haller E furniture, Haller E is the newest innovation for USM integrating light and energy directly into the structure of its furniture – completely wirelessly. Dimmable lighting elements can be discreetly retracted into the moving rods to serve a wide variety of purposes: they can light shelves and display cases from the inside or effectively cover a wall in light to set the scene – choosing from a daylight glow or a warm white ambience. Light is not the only integral aspect of USM Haller E – mobile devices can also be charged directly from the structure. Just like the light sources, USB chargers can be attached wherever needed – plugged into pre-defined recesses, they are fully integrated into the rods and barely visible.

Once purchased the furniture can be reconfigured if desired with additional panels and tubes purchased through the USM London showroom.
