INTRODUCTION Since its inception in the early 1960s, the USM Haller System has been a benchmark for highly functional, elegantly styled furniture design. Created by legendary Swiss architect Fritz Haller, USM Haller has been providing unique, elegant storage solutions for over 50 years. The beauty of USM Haller lies in its endless versatility – the fully customizable system is both stylish and discreet, with options as colorful and varied as the spaces it inhabits. In the following pages we invite you to explore some of the creative new ways USM Haller is being reimagined for at-home entertaining, from serving carts to liquor cabinets, record players and beyond.
