Media (O3)
Made by USM Haller
Designed by Fritz Haller
Designed by Fritz Haller and Paul Schärer in the 1960s, the USM Haller system established a new vocabulary for modular furniture. Its chrome-plated steel ball-and-tube connector remains one of the most architecturally precise joining systems ever conceived, equally at home in a private residence or an institutional interior.
The Media O3 translates that modular logic into a dedicated media cabinet. Two lockable drop-down doors conceal equipment behind a composed, unbroken surface, preserving the visual calm the system is known for. A raised base frame lifts the cabinet off the floor, giving the piece a lighter, more open relationship with its surroundings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the USM Haller ball-and-tube system?
The USM Haller system is a modular furniture platform built around a chrome-plated steel spherical connector and tubular steel frame, designed by Fritz Haller and Paul Schärer in the 1960s. Its precision engineering allows configurations to be expanded, reconfigured, or relocated without replacing components, making it one of the most enduring modular systems in modern furniture history.
Can USM Haller pieces be reconfigured over time?
Yes. The system's core logic is adaptability. Individual modules can be added, removed, or rearranged as spatial needs change, and replacement components remain consistent across generations of the product.
What colors are available for the USM Haller Media O3?
The Media O3 is available in seven standard USM Haller surface colors, which range from neutral tones to bolder options. Because it is made to order, color selection is confirmed at the time of purchase.
Is the USM Haller system suitable for residential interiors?
Originally developed for office and institutional environments, USM Haller has been widely adopted in residential settings for its precise proportions and understated palette. The Media O3, with its lockable doors and elevated base, is particularly well suited to living rooms and home offices.
How long does delivery take for a made-to-order USM Haller piece?
Lead times for made-to-order USM Haller furniture vary depending on configuration and color selection. It is best to consult with a design specialist for current production schedules.
