At the USM PlayLab by teo jakob, the USM Haller modular furniture system can be experienced in a variety of settings. From workplaces and home office settings, to reception and storage areas, to showroom and lounge settings. Full-size configurations, colour and material samples, as well as examples of bespoke solutions, demonstrate how functions such as working, archiving, presenting or welcoming can be precisely realised. At the showroom, customers can experiment with different variants, test patterns, proportions and colours, and thus develop solutions suitable for private residential settings as well as for businesses, institutions and projects in public spaces.
Distinctive Characteristics
USM Haller Soft Panel
Timelessness, modularity and functionality have defined USM for over 60 years. With the USM Haller modular furniture system, the Swiss design icon stands for a timeless, adaptable structure that continuously adjusts to new requirements and generations. The new USM Haller Soft Panel expands the product range with a soft, textile layer. The panels are clicked into the tubular frame using four magnets. No tools, no additional hardware – simply fold up or «flip» into the next compartment as needed. This creates a playful, tactile addition to the classic: soft in feel, easy to handle, clear in design.
USM x Leica Cine Collection
USM and Leica are systematically continuing their collaboration and, with the USM Leica Cine Collection II, are setting new accents in two key areas of life. The office is conceived as a creative working area, while the lounge is convincing as a stylishly staged space for home cinema experiences. The collection comprises four sideboards that were specifically designed for use in both contexts, precisely combining functionality and design. Technology is discreetly integrated into the furniture, creating a clean look and allowing the design to remain the focus. Thanks to the modular design of the USM furniture system, additional custom configurations can be created flexibly at any time.
