Media (O2)
Made by USM Haller
Designed by Fritz Haller
Conceived in the 1960s by Swiss architect Fritz Haller and businessman Paul Schärer, the USM Haller system began not as furniture design but as structural thinking. Chromium-plated steel balls and tubular frames form a logic of connections, one that allows any configuration to grow or recombine without visual compromise.
The Media O2 applies that discipline to the specific demands of contemporary technology storage. Two lockable drop-down doors conceal media components entirely from view. A discreet cable cutout keeps connections organized without disturbing the cabinet's composed exterior. The result holds the complexity of a home theater or home office setup behind a surface of complete calm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the USM Haller system?
The USM Haller modular system was designed in collaboration between Swiss architect Fritz Haller and Paul Schärer, head of the USM company, in the 1960s. Originally conceived for the USM corporate headquarters, the system entered the broader design world and has remained in continuous production since.
Can the USM Haller Media O2 be reconfigured over time?
Yes. The USM Haller system is built on a modular ball-and-tube structure that allows components to be added, removed, or recombined as needs change. A Media O2 configuration can be expanded horizontally or vertically without replacing the existing framework.
What surface color options are available for the Media O2?
The Media O2 is available in seven standard surface colors, which span the USM Haller palette from pure white and anthracite to warmer mid-century tones. Custom color options may be available through special order.
Is USM Haller furniture made to order?
USM Haller pieces are made to order, which allows for precise configuration to a given space or functional requirement. Production takes place in Münsingen, Switzerland, where the system has been manufactured since its inception.
How does the Media O2 manage cable routing?
The cabinet includes a dedicated cable cutout that allows power and signal cables to pass through the structure without being exposed at the front face. This keeps the exterior appearance consistent while supporting a fully functional media or home office setup.
