Haller systems, now known as USM, provides us with the opportunity to reorder the universe with a comprehensive modular program consisting of chrome tubes and metal panels.  For the last 50 years there has been no end to the solutions offered by this timeless system of expansion bolts, connector balls, tubes and panels-a virtually indestructible set of elements.  No other design has begun to match the versatility, elegance, and strength of USM Haller. Developed in the early 1960s, Haller has become a staple in both contract and residential environments throughout Europe, from libraries to hospitals and from boardrooms to bedrooms. Fritz Haller, a Swiss architect, developed the modular system named after him.  Trained by Gropius, the famed Bauhaus architect and teacher, Haller carried on the Bauhuas commitment to stripping away from design extraneous matter and reducing its forms to their functional beauty.  Haller developed his modular system of tubes and panels in concert with the industrial and residential architectural commissions that he built through the end of the century.  His visionary design has withstood the test of time and fostered an unrivaled reputation among architects and professionals. At modern artifacts we are proud to offer USM, Haller to a much wider and growing audience of consumers fed up with crumbling particle board and faded fancies predictably gathered in dumpsters bulging with our bad choices. For those who consider their professional and private space an extension of the environment in need of serious attention there simply is no substitute.
