About the original
The USM Haller credenza is a modular storage system designed by Swiss architect Fritz Haller and Paul Schaerer in 1963, built from powder-coated steel panels on a chromed tubular frame with ball connectors that allow infinite reconfiguration. USM Modular Furniture, headquartered in Münsingen, Switzerland, has manufactured each piece to order since 1965; the system is in the permanent collection of MoMA. The collab unit is an F2 model with drop-down front doors in a white finish, roughly 60 inches wide, with a Supreme logo applied to the doors. Released Week 5 of Spring/Summer 2023 at $2,998, around $1,000 below the standard USM Haller credenza price.
About USM
USM U. Schaerer Sons is a Swiss modular furniture manufacturer founded in 1885 by Ulrich Schaerer in Munsingen, Switzerland, originally as a locksmith and hardware shop. In 1963, engineer Fritz Haller and Paul Schaerer developed the USM Haller system using chrome-plated steel tubes, machined brass ball connectors, and powder-coated steel panels, first built out as the company's own headquarters. The system entered commercial production in 1969 and was added to the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection in 2001. USM manufactures all components at its Munsingen factory. Supreme collaborated with USM on co-branded Haller storage units.
