Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the USM Haller system different from other modular furniture?

The USM Haller system is built around a proprietary chrome-plated ball-and-tube connector that allows three-dimensional configuration without visible hardware or fasteners. This engineering precision gives each piece a structural integrity and visual consistency that standard modular furniture cannot replicate.

Can the USM Haller Credenza C2A be reconfigured or expanded later?

Yes. Because USM Haller is a true modular system, the Credenza C2A can be extended, reconfigured, or combined with other USM elements over time. Components from different generations of the system remain fully compatible.

What are the available surface colors for the USM Haller Credenza?

USM Haller offers seven standard surface colors, ranging from the classic Beige Grey and Pure White to deeper tones such as Anthracite and USM Ruby. Color panels are powder-coated steel, and custom colors are available on request for larger projects.

Who designed the USM Haller furniture system?

The system was co-developed by Swiss architect Fritz Haller and USM owner Paul Schärer in the late 1960s. Haller's background in modular architecture directly informed the system's structural logic, and the design has remained essentially unchanged since its introduction in 1969.

Is the USM Haller Credenza C2A suitable for a home office or living space?

The Credenza C2A was designed to function across contexts. Its combination of open shelving and concealed, lockable storage makes it equally at home in a working office, a living room, or a dining space where the boundary between storage and display matters.
