Nightstand (P2)
Made by USM Haller
Designed by Fritz Haller
Fritz Haller and Paul Schärer conceived the USM Haller system in the 1960s as an answer to a structural question: how could furniture inherit the rigor and adaptability of architecture itself? The result was a modular language built on chrome-plated steel tubing, powder-coated panels, and a patented ball joint connector that has remained in continuous production ever since.
The Nightstand P2 is that system at its most concentrated. A single lockable drop-down door, finished with a 6-inch panel height, secures the interior without interrupting the precise geometry that defines every USM Haller configuration. The compact footprint suits tighter spaces and smaller programs, yet the proportions remain as considered as any larger piece in the collection.

Originating in Münsingen, Switzerland, USM Haller has been recognized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Vitra Design Museum as a canonical work of industrial design. The system's modularity means a Nightstand P2 configured today can be recombined, extended, or repurposed across an entirely different program in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the USM Haller modular system?
The USM Haller system was co-developed by Swiss architect Fritz Haller and USM co-owner Paul Schärer in the 1960s. Originally conceived for the USM factory building in Münsingen, Switzerland, the system was later adapted for office and residential furniture and has remained in continuous production since.
Is the USM Haller Nightstand P2 compatible with other USM modules?
Yes. The USM Haller system is built around a standardized ball-joint connector and tubular steel frame, which means modules can be combined, stacked, or expanded over time. The Nightstand P2 can integrate with other USM configurations to create larger storage compositions.
What surface colors are available for the USM Haller Nightstand P2?
The Nightstand P2 is offered in seven standard USM surface colors, a palette that has been refined over the system's production history. Colors range from neutral whites and blacks to warm and cool accent tones, each applied as a powder-coat finish to the steel panels.
Where is USM Haller furniture manufactured?
USM Haller furniture is manufactured in Münsingen, Switzerland, where the company has produced the system since the 1960s. Each piece is made to order, and USM maintains close control over production tolerances to ensure modules remain precisely interchangeable across generations.
How does the lockable door on the Nightstand P2 work?
The Nightstand P2 features a drop-down door that folds forward and down to open, revealing the interior storage compartment. The door includes a lock, making it appropriate for securing personal items at the bedside. The locking mechanism is integrated flush with the panel face to preserve the system's clean geometry.
