With its new plant worlds, USM Haller presents a simple, elegant and modular solution for the individual greening of different living areas. The insertable trays with pot recesses are available in five sizes and 14 colours. One-size-fits-all pots in terracotta and basalt and a watering kit have been developed to complement the range. In open offices and coworking spaces, USM furniture items with integrated plants provide privacy or divide up large spaces. In restaurants they create cosy corners or separate areas, in museum shops they lighten up postcard and other displays, while in the entrance areas of hospitals they provide visitors with a green welcome.

Our aim is to be more useful in everyday practice and to offer good architectural journalism with DETAIL's familiar look behind the facade.

    With a Safety Net

    Speed comes at a price, and the magic box has its limits. Modular construction is both a blessing and a curse. For years, politicians have promised that modular building would deliver housing faster and more cheaply, yet in 2026 the number of new homes is heading for its lowest level in years. Extremely fast building sites on the one hand, greater planning effort on the other. A look at modular construction, between promise and the reality on site.

  • Eight Times More Sport
