Tower A (High-Rise)

The Tower A High-Rise turns the USM modular system into a vertical statement piece with a sharper, more sculptural presence than a standard shelving tower. Created for USM NYC by Ben Ganz in collaboration with PIN-UP HOME, this limited-edition design channels the energy of New York through a tall, architectural form that feels graphic, playful, and highly considered. In Uptown Blue, the matte powder-coated panels bring a bold wash of color, while the chromed steel frame keeps the silhouette crisp, light, and unmistakably USM.

Originally rooted in the USM system designed by Fritz Haller and Paul Schaerer in 1963, this piece is defined by its stacked open compartments and casters, which give it both visual height and mobility. It works as a room accent, display tower, or flexible storage piece for interiors that need something more expressive than a typical bookcase. The open design keeps it airy, while the repeated modular grid gives it the disciplined rhythm that makes USM feel timeless.
