Beyond the more or less iconic architecture of the building, tertiary space holds the attention of developers and users. His organization is paramount, affecting the work atmosphere and functionality and the image of the company, the real, that which emerges from the inside, behind the façade. The issue of development is especially of importance that the trays are free. To last, the tertiary building cultivates flexibility and modularity of workspaces. The variable geometry of the services and the rotation of the companies require it. Free shelf is a sine qua non, without necessarily the famous "open space" that some consider lethal. Segregation is a function of sheltered work and the culture of the company. Like space, the debate remains open. Note only that the furniture plays a more important role that it can serve as a partial segregation or separation.
That either segregated or open space office furniture is by definition mobile and functional, to marry different configurations in agreement with the building. Long, architects focused on the issue, addressing the furniture as the indispensable complement of the building. Among them, the Switzerland Fritz Haller (born in 1924 in Solothurn) stands by his spirit of system and its commitment to industrialization. For him, the construction is similar to a game of assembled modules, in accordance with the industrial ideal prevailing post-war both in the United States, with the "case study houses", in France, with designers like Marcel Lods, Jean Prouvé and others. Applied to the building, the approach of Fritz Haller gave birth to the Maxi systems (1960), Mini (1967) and noon (1972), which had various fortunes. But it is the furniture system invented in 1962 with engineer Paul Schärer, boss of the firm of USM (Ulrich Schärer Münzingen), which met the posterity. The principle is simple, combining structural logic and technical precision: balls threaded brass chrome for Assembly nodes and chromed steel tubing which come to wall metal clipper lacquered to form multiples casing. Almost fifty years later this system many times crossed became an icon of modernity, in the same way as the most famous pieces of contemporary furniture, signed by leading architects and always edited. The USM Haller system is today a growing craze, penetrating new markets. Its modular design and its Swiss manufacturing make it an almost historic investment. Removable and reconfigurable at will, it combines the strength design minimal and modern, really out of fashion, which makes it compatible with all styles. The passing decades, it has acquired unique image and status. Timeless and lasting in the time.
Furniture fetish
"Transform and power complement his furniture represents a considerable potential savings," argued Pascal Bush, Director of USM France, to put into perspective the cost of its product. "The sustainability of the system is greater that parts are interchangeable, guaranteeing an nine permanent discount, or even a change of appearance at the same time as new patterns", says the head of the mark. "And, fifty years after, were in invents always new, custom, with an expanded fittings and innovative finishes." The fourteen referenced colours are followed by (epoxy coating baked) and glasses of colour matched the top of the casing in steel for a holding in time still increased.
Switzerland to the smallest detail, USM has implemented an optimum customer service, delivery, installation and monitoring. Each project is under careful study on a software specially designed to instantly establish the description. For the more complex cases, an integrated Office takes over from the seller. "Many redeployments and supplements we are requested several years after the initial installation, observed Pascal Buisson, and our customers become our best prescribers.".
Contagion to the private sector
Designed for the Office, the system thus wins the domestic and private sphere. Amateur and unconditional introduce it them, not to mention all those who install their professional activity at home, enjoying this alliance of functionality and aesthetics. "Our customers think long term and a familiarity with the product is established in the long term." "Children now grow with", provides the responsible for the France who does not hesitate to speak of an "emotional attachment". To the extent that the individual market today absorbs 30 of production. Moreover, the market opens to public authorities. For its part, USM France claims a breakthrough in municipal and academic libraries, initiated on the centres of documentation and information (CDI) of the colleges of the Toulouse metropolitan area. These large markets, of the order of EUR 500 000 by media library, are an opportunity for multiple innovations, both for the presentation of the works in adults and children sections for computer equipment, home and other specific furniture banks. Traditionally valued pharmaceutical companies (Roche laboratories are a historic client), financial services, agencies of communication and law firms, architects, and other creatives, the USM Haller system involved in the conquest of the general public. Time plays for him. And to do good, it is the first in Europe to obtain the Greenguard certification for the protection of the environment for its manufacture. A well born is to last.
