Leica x USM - Aesthetics and precision in perfect harmony
With the USM x Leica Cine Collection, the two long-established companies present a collaboration of iconic design furniture and home entertainment that unites the signatures of both partners.
For the iF Design Award-winning Cinema TV “Leica Cine 1 ”, the Swiss furniture manufacturer USM developed an exclusive collection of multimedia furniture that seamlessly complements the functionality and design of the ultra-short-distance laser TV set. This special combination integrates the home cinema perfectly into the living room interior and creates an ambience that combines maximum comfort, durability and style - a stylish environment that enriches everyday life and enables lasting movie enjoyment. The modular, tailor-made collection currently comprises three variants corresponding to the three available screen diagonals of the Leica Cine 1.
When two legends meet: The characteristic Leica look of the precision product Cine 1 with its reduced, Bauhaus-inspired form is an ideal match for the simple aesthetics of the USM Haller modular furniture system, whose timeless design and high-quality workmanship enjoy an outstanding reputation as a classic of furniture design.
A home cinema in a class of its own
It's the details that turn a projection into a home cinema experience: the picture, the sound, the atmosphere. The innovative Leica Cine 1 is the first Cinema TV to offer the highest Leica quality standards in moving images and creates a unique cinema atmosphere. Thanks to its ultra-short distance lens, it can be integrated into the living room at a short distance from the wall to save space and, with its elegant aluminum housing in the authentic Leica look, blends elegantly into the interior as a classic design object.
The Leica Cine 1 sets standards for the latest generation of Cinema TVs by combining top optical performance with brilliant 4K Leica picture quality on screen diagonals of 80, 100 or 120 inches. Complemented by the impressive Dolby Atmos® surround system, intuitive operation, maximum connectivity and maximum user-friendliness, it offers an incomparable home cinema experience. At the heart of this is the projection system with triple RGB laser technology, which is characterized by a long service life of over 25,000 hours and lower energy consumption.
Modular design meets technological innovation
USM has been building modular furniture to the highest quality standards for almost 60 years. The unmistakable and timeless design offers tailor-made solutions that can be extended or reconfigured as required. Each piece of furniture offers room for maximum versatility and creativity, and thanks to the use of high-quality materials, all USM product lines are characterized by a long service life.
The principle that form follows function is taken to heart in all product lines. The result is a formal reduction paired with functional richness. You could also say: it is the concentration on the essentials. This is where USM is in its element. The USM Haller modular furniture system is variable down to the smallest detail and has an equally individual interior and exterior. Thanks to its modular character, which is always based on three basic elements, the possibilities for further development have long since reached a dimension of their own. They are consistently open systems. New perspectives develop in order to provide the appropriate space for change and thus for the future.
Leica and USM - a perfect match of precision, aesthetics and passion that film and sports fans can look forward to just as much as technology and design aficionados.
With the USM x Leica Cine Collection, a tailor-made furniture environment has now been created for the Leica Cine 1 and the three available sizes of the motorized high-contrast screen.
The USM x Leica Cine Collection is now available from specialist retailers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and will also be available in other European countries, China and the USA by the end of the year, or contact us directly.
