USM Haller is recognized as one of the global leaders in modular furniture system inspired by architecture – consisting of steel tubes, metal balls and colorful metal panels, which can be assembled to create a wide range of furniture pieces, including shelves, storage unit and desks. Under the direction of CEO Alexander Schärer, USM Haller continues to evolve, while remaining true to its brand and invites users to challenge their own creation. This growing popularity of discovering and experiencing USM furniture in real-world settings led Schärer to embark on a deeply personal passion project with the late architect and designer, Ali Tayer, to open THE OMNIA in 2006. Together, USM and THE OMNIA have both achieved iconic status within the exciting worlds of furniture design and hospitality.

The dining scene in Zermatt is now forever changed with the introduction of André Kneubühler as Executive Chef at THE OMNIA. Chef André worked closely with Tanja Grandits for seven years at Stucki in Basel. Chef Grandits is considered the best chef in Switzerland and thanks to her passion for the joy of food, Chef André and his young team will be doing great things in Zermatt for many years to come. Their bond and love for cooking is strong. Chef André added, “Saying goodbye to Stucki was emotional and difficult for me. I feel very close to the boss [Grandits]. We also got the same tattoo at the same time, a fennel flower.” With its strong commitment to regional and sustainable produce, “Alpine Excellence” focuses on the authentic flavors of local Alpine quality foods sourced from sustainable production. This is a vegetarian concept at its core but allows guests to adapt these dynamic vegetarian menus to seamlessly include individual fish or meat courses.
