USM Haller is the world's most iconic modular furniture system. Designed in 1963 by Fritz Haller and manufactured in Münsingen, Switzerland, USM has become a design classic found in homes, offices, and museums worldwide. If you are considering buying USM Haller furniture in Hong Kong, this guide covers everything you need to know — from configurations and colours to pricing, warranty, and the difference between buying from an authorised dealer versus other sources.
USM Haller is a modular furniture system built from chrome-plated steel ball connectors and coloured metal panels. The genius of the system is its simplicity: using just three components (tubes, balls, and panels), you can build virtually any piece of furniture — shelving, cabinets, TV units, desks, sideboards, and more. Every piece can be reconfigured, expanded, or reduced as your needs change.
This modularity is why USM has endured for over 60 years. A USM cabinet you buy today can be taken apart and rebuilt into a completely different configuration next year. It is furniture for life, not furniture for now.
USM offers 14 standard colours ranging from Pure White and Light Grey to Golden Yellow, USM Ruby Red, and Graphite Black. Each colour is applied as a powder-coated finish that is scratch-resistant and easy to clean. The colour range is carefully curated — every USM colour works with every other USM colour, so you can mix and match panels within a single unit.
As an authorised dealer, MyConcept can order any colour combination. Parallel importers typically stock only the 3-4 most popular colours (white, black, grey) and cannot offer custom configurations.
USM TV cabinets are one of the most popular configurations in Hong Kong. A typical 2-bay or 3-bay low unit provides clean, modern media storage while hiding cables and equipment. USM TV units can include dropdown doors, open shelves, and cable management solutions.
From low cabinets to tall bookshelves, USM storage adapts to any space. In Hong Kong apartments where space is limited, a well-configured USM unit can serve as room divider, display shelf, and storage simultaneously.
The USM Kitos desk is a favourite for home offices. Clean lines, height-adjustable options, and the ability to add storage underneath make it a practical and beautiful workspace solution.
Compact USM bedside tables bring the same design quality to the bedroom. Available with drawers, open shelves, or a combination of both.
This is the most important section of this guide. USM Haller is available in Hong Kong from both authorised dealers and parallel importers. The price difference can be tempting, but here is what you need to understand:
USM provides a manufacturer warranty that is only valid when purchased through an authorised dealer. If you buy from a parallel importer and a panel is scratched during delivery or a ball connector is defective, you have no warranty coverage in Hong Kong. Replacement parts must be ordered from Europe at full cost, with 8-12 weeks shipping time.
Through an authorised dealer like MyConcept, warranty claims are handled locally. Replacement parts are sourced directly from USM and delivered within days, not months.
Authorised dealers have access to the full USM configuration system. We can design a custom unit for your exact space, in any colour combination, with any door/shelf/drawer configuration. Parallel importers sell pre-configured units — what they have in stock is what you get.
One of USM's greatest strengths is that it can be reconfigured. Moving to a new apartment? Need to change your TV unit into a bookshelf? An authorised dealer can order additional components and reconfigure your existing USM system. A parallel importer cannot provide this service.
USM furniture requires careful assembly. The chrome ball connectors must be tightened to specific tolerances, and panels must be installed in the correct sequence. Professional assembly ensures your USM unit is structurally sound and looks perfect. MyConcept provides professional delivery and assembly to your home or office in Hong Kong.
Every genuine USM piece carries a serial number and certificate of authenticity. While outright counterfeits are rare, B-stock pieces (with minor cosmetic defects) and ex-display units sometimes enter the parallel import market without proper disclosure.
USM pricing depends on the configuration — number of bays, height, doors, drawers, and colour. A simple 1-bay bedside table starts from a different price point than a 4-bay TV cabinet with dropdown doors. Contact us on WhatsApp with your requirements and we will provide a detailed quote. We also offer the USM Palette Pro configurator so you can design your ideal unit and get an instant price estimate.
