USM Modular Furniture was recently named the official supplier to Swiss Team Alinghi, one of nine first-round challengers for the America's Cup, which entails five months of racing (through February). The Swiss manufacturer is outfitting its countrymen's home office in Geneva and training base in Auckland, New Zealand, to suit the team's fast-paced style. Thanks to the flexibility of USM's sleek Haller Systems units and adjustable Eleven22 folding tables, both of the headquarters can be transformed from event site to impromptu conference center if February's news is good.
