Table Pearl Gray White Laminate (T59)
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 fundamental question: how do buildings, furniture, and organizations grow without losing coherence? Their solution was modularity, and the table that emerged from that thinking has remained in continuous production for over half a century.
The chrome-plated steel ball joint at the heart of the system is not ornament. It is structural logic made visible, a joint that allows the system to expand, reconfigure, and adapt without sacrificing precision or proportion. That integrity carries through every iteration of the form.
The pearl gray white laminate surface brings a considered quietude to the composition. Durable and exact in its finish, it holds a dialogue with the polished chrome frame without competing or retreating. The result reads as purposeful in a private study, a creative studio, or a considered dining interior.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the USM Haller ball joint structurally significant?
The chrome-plated steel ball joint is the connective core of the entire USM system, allowing tubes to meet at precise angles in three dimensions. It is what gives the system its ability to grow and reconfigure without requiring new components or compromising structural integrity.
Is the USM Haller table made to order?
Yes. USM Haller tables are produced to order, allowing configuration in a range of sizes, surface materials, and finishes. Lead times vary depending on specification, so it is advisable to plan well ahead for project-based or residential installations.
How durable is a laminate surface on a USM Haller table?
USM's laminate surfaces are engineered for long-term use in both residential and professional environments. The material resists scratching and everyday wear while maintaining a consistent, precise finish that complements the chrome frame.
Can the USM Haller table be used as a dining table?
The USM Haller table works equally well as a dining surface, a desk, or a meeting table. Its proportional range and neutral materiality allow it to integrate into varied interior contexts with equal authority.
Who designed the USM Haller system and when?
The USM Haller system was designed by Swiss architect Fritz Haller and Paul Schärer in the 1960s, originally developed to provide USM's own offices with furniture that could grow alongside the company. It has been in continuous production ever since.
