USM Modular Furniture x SLOWE Living® are proud to announce a partnership that brings together two brands with a shared outlook of space-saving design, modularity, flexibility, and personalisation.
Both brands are driven by a commitment to creating timeless furniture that seamlessly adapts to evolving spaces within our evolving lifestyles, with flexibility for customisation in colour, size, and configuration.
Drawing on its admiration for Bauhaus principles of manufacturing—emphasising simplicity, functionality, and the seamless integration of form and purpose—SLOWE Living introduces two “Coffee Slide Tables” as part of this debut capsule. Designed with adaptability and a functional aesthetic in mind, these tables are for moments of pause and relaxation amid the fast pace of modern life.
SLOWE Living®’s approach is rooted in creating timeless, functional pieces, including our signature sofa bed—designed to be the last sofa bed you’ll ever need, can adapt and be repaired with you through life’s changes. In collaborating with USM, known worldwide for their iconic steel tube, connecting ball, and sheet metal framework, we’re blending British comfort with Swiss precision.
USM has always been a yardstick for me in how to develop a product line using honest, simple materials that offer multiple uses through a well-engineered, modular system. These principles inspired SLOWE no end from the start of our design process back in lockdown, and it’s incredibly exciting to be able to align with a brand that has set such a high standard for adaptable design for years.”
Reflecting on the partnership, Oliver, Founder of SLOWE Living®, says, “They are playful pieces for those moments when you’re too comfy to move, these tables keep the essentials—your go-to book, a great cup of coffee, or that stack of records right within arm’s reach.
Mirko Mueller, CEO of USM UK, adds, “This collaboration with SLOWE Living® captures our shared dedication to modularity and sustainable, long-lasting design and recognising emerging design in London. Together, we want to create pieces that don’t just meet the demands of today’s living spaces but are also designed to evolve with our customers.”
