The search for ecological solutions prior to economic necessity strongly affects the way we function at USM. During the development stages of USM Modular Furniture, questions surrounding the responsible handling of energy, emissions, raw materials, and production methods play a central role from the very beginning. The useful life expectancy of a product is by far the most important aspect when considering the environment, because it is unavoidable that the energy and resources used for production are closely related to ecological cycles with regard to certain life expectancy. The decisive environmental factor in this is the relationship between the required output during production, disposal and the life expectancy of the product. Therefore, the longer a product remains useful, the less of a negative impact it has on the environment.

The long and useful life of USM Modular Furniture is determined by: The quality of the materials The USM materials are selected for functionality: Precision steel tubing and shelving; robust, light-fast, solvent-free powdered coatings; exposed structural parts in nearly indestructible high-polished chrome; table surfaces in wood, synthetic resin, glass, and granite which guarantee to minimize wear and tear.

The versatility of the system USM Modular Furniture is based on the principal of the open system with a modular assembly. Able to be modified in almost any way desired, it provides a great deal of adaptability to individual needs for organization and design for both the office and home environments. As the space and function requirements change, the furniture can be converted or expanded at any time. The components can be re-used in several life cycles. Each subsequent use increases the utilization of the materials employed. The timelessness of its design “Form follows function” is the concept behind the USM product design. The furniture can ultimately be reduced to a simple, clear solution with a transparent design that reveals the function. By doing away with any form of fashionable trend, a lasting, classic and aesthetic design emerges.

Reverse compatibility in product development Changing needs require continual adjustments to the product range. USM structural components are continuously developed to correspond to the latest state of the art. At the same time, both image as well as all of the basic principles is perpetuated consistently. This ensures that each new system piece can be integrated into existing structures. The advantage: even USM Modular Furniture built in the early 60’s is being used today because it is timeless and adaptable to the user's changing needs time and time again. The “USM and Sustainability” project was finalized in cooperation with ETHagsZürich. A sustainability document can be downloaded at www.usm.com or ordered directly at info@usm.com.
