why we love usm modular furniture

USM was founded in Switzerland by Ulrich Schaerer in 1885 as an iron works and window fittings producer. In 1961, the company took a new direction and began producing modern industrial furniture systems that we still see today! The most popular type of furniture that USM manufactures is the USM Haller systems. These furniture systems are available in 14 different colors and are completely customizable, which makes them suitable for almost any space and any use!

USM offers so many different elements to make your piece completely unique such as flip-up doors, drop-down doors, extension doors, drawers, angled shelves, and so much more. Since USM pieces are modular, you can configure a piece and continue to change it over time. It’s furniture that grows with you!

The USM system offers different options such as drawers, flip-up doors, or drop-down doors. The drop-down door option can allow you to use that door as a small desk, and is a perfect space to get a little bit of work done.
