USM Haller Soft Panel

To mark the 60th birthday of its classic USM Haller, USM is surprising with a major inno­vation: the USM Haller Soft Panel. As a natural addition to the furniture system of the same name, it playfully inte­grates a new texture and patterns into the metal world of the classic and offers a completely new expe­rience of modu­larity.

Timelessness, modularity, functionality: values embodied by USM for over 60 years.

For 60 years, Swiss design icon USM has been a byword for timeless modu-larity with its USM Haller modular furni-ture system – a design philosophy that outlasts fleeting trends and constantly evolves to meet the de-mands of every generation. USM Mo-dular Furniture awakens an instinct for play, inspiring and celebrating the ingenuity of its users. Made for chan-ge, USM offers enduring value.

The new USM Haller Soft Panel adds a soft and playful touch to the USM product range. The textile panels come with four magnets and can be easily clicked into the tubular structure 
of the modular furniture system – no assembly or additional fixtures required. It’s just as easy to fold them up or down to open and flip into the next compartment.

Introducing the new USM Haller Soft Panel. Available from September 2025.

The new textile panels come with four magnets and can be easily clicked into the tubular structure of the modular furniture system – no assembly or additional fixtures required. Magnetism creates a completely new experience: playful, soft, and easy.

Playful

The furniture’s aesthetics and functionality transform in the blink of an eye, adapting to your mood or changing requirements. Patterns and colours can be combined like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle to form a cohesive whole or an eclectic mix. Flip – one moment it’s bright orange – flap – now your furniture is transformed into an elegant red with a vertical pattern. Every flip brings a new change.

Soft

The USM Haller Soft Panel is made of high-quality synthetic fibre, with 40% recycled Seaqual® Fibres marine plastic. Lightweight, stable and with renowned USM durability. Soft to the touch and a warm aesthetic, it provides a surprising contrast in the metallic world of the classic design. Another special feature: the panels reduce noise and improve room acoustics. This is typical USM: design, functionality, and sustainability in symbiosis.

Easy

The lightweight panels are easy to attach and move without any assembly or additional equipment, making them perfect for giving existing furniture a fresh twist.

The new panels were developed in collaboration with French designer Marc Venot, and the final design was realized by the US design studio JOBA, led by Kevin Jones.

The USM Haller Soft Panels will be available from September 2025, in three sizes (750 x 350 mm, 500 x 350 mm and 350 x 350 mm), three patterns (diagonal, curved and vertical), and ten colours.

You can discover them from September in our showrooms and at all our partners.
