USM Haller Desk 1: A Modern Classic Refined for Workspaces

Office
Written By CORE-TEX

Experience minimalist elegance and modular precision with the USM Haller Desk 1—a modern small-space desk redefining functional design.

Crafted for Lifelong Utility

Designed by Swiss visionaries Fritz Haller and Paul Schaerer, the Desk 1 is part of the iconic USM Haller collection, which has earned its place in MoMA’s permanent design collection. Constructed from chromed steel tubes and powder-coated panels, this desk is engineered for durability and adaptability across decades.

Details That Matter

  • Dimensions: 29″ high × 49″ wide × 20″ deep—perfectly sized for compact work zones.

  • Weight: A substantial 71 lb, offering both stability and presence.

  • Storage: Features a single lockable cabinet with a drop-down door, secured with a simple coin twist—a seamless blend of safety and simplicity .

  • Finish: Comes fully assembled in a variety of powder-coated colors that harmonize with the chromed steel frame .

Why It Stands Out

This desk captures the essence of “form follows function”, adapting gracefully across home offices and corporate environments alike. Its modular nature allows it to be combined with other USM pieces—past, present, or future—ensuring a coherent and evolving aesthetic .
