USM, the Swiss family-owned business, and award-winning London Buchanan Studio have unveiled its debut collection, fashioned from the precision-engineered USM Haller system and featuring Buchanan Studio’s signature colour palette in a checkerboard design

Buchanan Studio has created a series of eleven new designs, entitled Tessellate, using the iconic USM Haller system. The Swiss furniture company worked with the London-based studio, exploring themes of repetition, symmetry and adaptability.

‘We turn to USM time and time again in Buchanan Studio projects – like all great timeless designs, we love how versatile it is in any interior,’ explains Angus Buchanan, creative director of Buchanan Studio.

‘Using the USM Haller system as a foundation for us to explore Buchanan Studio’s signature motifs, colours and materials is a defining moment for us,’ adds Buchanan of what inspired the new range.

The Tessellate collection comprises, among others, seating, tables, stools and a bookcase, which come in a playful checkerboard design, a hallmark of Buchanan Studio’s brand.

Available in a bold USM Ruby Red and a classic Pure White & Graphite Black, the sculptural pieces also come in a special edition colour, BS Pink, created especially for the collection.

The designs fit into various interior design styles, from hospitality to commercial settings, as the stool and bench, for example, feature seat cushions available in Buchanan Studio’s Teddy, Studio Stripe and Ticking Rose fabrics.

‘Partnering with Buchanan Studio on the Tessellate collection is a testament to USM’s continued commitment to innovation and design excellence,’ adds Mirko Mueller, CEO of USM UK.

‘This collaboration is a perfect fusion of Buchanan’s bold, distinctive aesthetic with our modular, precision-engineered system,’ explains Mueller. ‘We are delighted to bring this dynamic collection to life and offer our customers a new way to experience the timeless versatility of USM.’

The collection is available exclusively through Buchanan Studio’s online shop, as well as by appointment at Buchanan Studio’s West London showroom. An edit of the collection is also available to purchase directly from USM.
