USM Haller is a classic. Produced since the late 1960s, with a visual language that helped define modular furniture design. Anyone considering USM is looking for modularity that lasts twenty years. KUUDU answers the same expectation differently: oak (FSC European) instead of powder-coated steel, a 75 cm section grid with configurable levels and gap heights, made in Germany.
The KUUDU configuration shown here is two sections (150 cm) at about 150 cm height in 35 cm full depth. The bottom row is built as closed boxes — a nod to USM's signature closed sockel; the levels above stay open. In the configurator, section count, levels, gap heights, and the box/open assignment per cell are all selected individually.
If you want the iconic USM look — tubular steel, ball-joint frame, coloured panel doors — KUUDU isn't for you. If you want a modular wooden shelf that follows a section grid and assembles live in a 3D configurator, it is. For architecture practices, we provide CAD data on request; format and detail level depend on project phase. Trade conditions are also on request.

USM Haller works with a tubular-steel/ball-joint construction and a fixed 35 cm modular grid. KUUDU is built on a 75 cm section grid in oak (FSC European); levels and gap heights are chosen per section in the configurator. Both are genuinely modular — the logic of how a setup comes together differs fundamentally.
USM Haller appears as a tubular-steel ball-joint construction with characteristic coloured metal panels. KUUDU works with oak (FSC European) modules in a reduced, Bauhaus-leaning grid — warmer in character, quieter in appearance, closer to Vitsœ than to USM.
Yes. For commercial projects we provide CAD data on request; format and detail level depend on project phase. Trade conditions for architecture practices are set in the initial conversation; a dedicated point of contact per project is available on request.
