I had first noticed USM Haller shelving in the pages of Architectural Digest in 2017 and loved how industrial the steel panels and chromed tubing looked, the vivid colors the powder-coated steel comes in, and how flexible the modular system could be. That modularity — not to mention USM’s durability — was maybe even better illustrated in a 2023 AD story photographed by my friend Brian W. Ferry about a Philip Johnson house upstate, where the kitchen cabinets were all assembled from preowned USM parts.
