Frequently Bought Together
Cocktail hour, the Bauhaus way. This bar and serving cart rolls the celebrated Swiss modular language — chromed steel tubes, signature ball joints, crisp powder-coated panels — onto four smooth casters, with an integrated push handle that makes ferrying drinks, books or breakfast feel effortless.
About the USM Haller System
In 1963, Swiss engineer Paul Schärer and architect Fritz Haller reduced industrial construction to one brilliant detail: a small chromed ball, drilled and threaded in six directions, joining steel tubes into furniture that behaves like architecture. The USM Haller system became a modernist icon — rigorous, reconfigurable, and admitted to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. This serving cart carries that tradition onto wheels: the same ball-joint construction and honest steel surfaces, shaped into a two-tier trolley that is equally at home beside the dining table, the sofa or the home bar.
Materials & Craftsmanship
- Shelves: two 1.2 mm powder-coated steel panels — a durable baked finish in black or pure white — with a raised top tier and a full lower deck
- Frame: ø19 mm chromed metal tubing with a seamlessly integrated push handle
- Connectors: cast ball joints threaded with M8 through-holes on all six faces — the modular signature of the system
- Mobility: four smooth-rolling casters, with locks to keep the cart parked while you pour
- Two tiers: bottles and glasses up top, backup stock, books or trays below

Care
Wipe the powder-coated shelves with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry them straight away; avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, which can dull the baked finish. Buff the chromed tubes, ball joints and push handle with a dry microfiber cloth to keep their mirror shine. Wipe up drink spills promptly, and keep the casters free of lint and grit so the cart rolls smoothly and the locks grip well on hard floors.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ball-joint system?
Each corner is a chromed ball drilled and threaded (M8) on six faces, so the tubes bolt into it rigidly from any direction — the construction principle that made the Swiss modular system famous.
Do the casters lock?
Yes. The casters include locks, so the cart glides when you push it and stays put while you serve.
Does each cart come in one color?
Yes — each cart comes with both shelves in a single finish. Choose Black or White from the Color option; the shared chrome frame means the two colorways pair handsomely side by side.
What can I use it for?
Beyond drinks, it works as a rolling side table, a breakfast and tea trolley, a plant stand or mobile office storage — at 28.74" (73 cm) tall, the handle sits at a natural pushing height.
How do I keep the steel shelves looking new?
Dust regularly and wipe spills promptly with a barely damp cloth — see the Care section above for the full routine.
