3 Drawer Storage (Y)
Made by USM Haller
Designed by Fritz Haller
Designed by Fritz Haller and Paul Scharer and introduced in 1965, the USM Haller system began not as a furniture concept but as the structural logic of a factory. The chrome-plated steel ball connectors and tubular frames that organized the USM building in Münsingen, Switzerland were recognized almost immediately as something larger: a vocabulary for space itself.
The 3 Drawer Storage (Y) configuration brings that vocabulary to the scale of daily organization. A shallow six-inch drawer sits above two deeper ten-inch drawers, each depth calibrated to a different category of object. The four-inch raised base frame lifts the piece clear of the floor, giving it a considered, almost architectural presence that reads as part of a room's geometry rather than furniture placed within it.
- Chrome-plated steel ball-and-tube structure
- One shallow drawer at approximately six inches deep
- Two deeper drawers at approximately ten inches deep
- Four-inch raised base frame
- Available in USM's range of lacquered panel colors
- Fully compatible with the broader USM Haller modular system
Because every USM Haller component is designed to connect with every other, this storage unit can stand alone or integrate into a larger configuration, adapting over time without visual disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the USM Haller system modular?
The USM Haller system is built on a standardized ball-and-tube frame of chrome-plated steel, allowing individual components like drawers, shelves, and doors to be reconfigured or expanded over time. This structural logic means a piece purchased today can be adapted as spatial needs change.
Who designed the USM Haller furniture system?
The system was designed by Swiss architect Fritz Haller and entrepreneur Paul Scharer in 1965, originally conceived to furnish the USM factory in Münsingen, Switzerland. It has since become a canonical example of modular systems design.
What are the drawer dimensions of the 3 Drawer Storage (Y)?
The configuration includes one six-inch shallow drawer and two ten-inch deeper drawers, mounted on a four-inch raised base frame, giving the piece a total storage profile suited to both document and object storage.
Can USM Haller pieces be reconfigured after purchase?
Yes. The USM system is designed for lifelong reconfigurability. Components can be added, removed, or rearranged using the same standardized connectors, making it one of the few furniture systems that genuinely evolves with its owner.
What colors is the USM Haller 3 Drawer Storage (Y) available in?
It is offered in seven standard powder-coat colors, which span the USM Haller palette from neutral whites and grays to more saturated options. Custom colors may be available through specification; lead times vary for made-to-order production.
