Credenza (E2)
Made by USM Haller
Designed by Fritz Haller
In the 1960s, Swiss architect Fritz Haller and USM founder Paul Schärer developed a modular system governed by one principle: geometric logic carried through to every joint, every surface, every proportion. Decades later, that discipline remains unchanged.
The Credenza E2 is the system at its most horizontal and composed. Four lockable drop-down doors span a broad format, offering generous concealed storage without adding visual weight to a room. The form neither asserts nor recedes. It simply holds its ground.
Chrome-plated steel ball joints connect the tubular frame with a precision that is visible at close range and felt over decades of use. The system is made to order, available in seven standard surface colors, and suited with equal conviction to residential interiors and professional environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the USM Haller system?
The USM Haller system was developed in the 1960s through a collaboration between Swiss architect Fritz Haller and Paul Schärer, then director of USM. Haller's modular geometry and Schärer's manufacturing vision produced a system that has remained in continuous production ever since.
Can USM Haller pieces be reconfigured after purchase?
Yes. The ball-joint and tubular steel construction of the USM Haller system is designed for reconfiguration. Panels, doors, and structural elements can be added, removed, or rearranged, allowing the furniture to adapt to changing spatial or functional requirements over time.
What are the standard color options for USM Haller cabinets?
USM Haller offers seven classic surface colors for its cabinet panels, ranging from pure white and anthracite to warmer tones. The chrome-plated steel frame remains constant across all configurations, providing a consistent structural identity regardless of color selection.
Is the USM Haller Credenza E2 suitable for home office use?
The Credenza E2 was designed without distinction between residential and professional contexts. Its lockable drop-down doors, broad storage format, and restrained aesthetic make it equally appropriate for a private study, a corporate office, or a living environment where storage discipline matters.
How is USM Haller furniture manufactured?
USM Haller pieces are manufactured to order at the company's facilities in Münsingen, Switzerland. The chrome-plated steel ball joints and powder-coated panels are produced with tolerances typical of precision engineering, which accounts for the system's dimensional consistency across decades of production.
