USM x Armando Cabral

USM challenged model and fashion designer Armando Cabral to a collaboration, and the result couldn't be more surprising. The starting point was USM's Haller modular furniture system, and Armando Cabral was given carte blanche to reinterpret it through his own vision.

This collaboration was named NKYINKYIM, after the Adinkra symbol created by the Akan people of Ghana and Ivory Coast in the early 19th century. This symbol represents intertwined paths, related to both collective and individual growth. On display at the Swiss brand's showroom in New York until May 1st, the installation comprises several pieces from the home collection of the Guinean designer, who grew up in Portugal, as well as unusual pieces created with the versatile Haller system, such as beds, armchairs, side tables, shelving units, and cabinets.

"For me, the modular nature of USM’s design symbolizes how each component represents a cohesive and functional structure."
