SEC Collection

Alfredo Häberli, 1997

SEC is a system of modular elements with a frame out of extruded aluminium elements.
Its components – out of steel, glass, methacrylate or wood - are available in 3 heights, 3 lengths, and 3 widths. Thanks to these options, the system can be assembled in an infinite variety of combinations.
The project reflects Häberli's vision: smart and essential design, which can evolve and adapt to any environments. SEC is not just a piece of furniture, it represents a flexible small-scale architectural solution designed to organise space with order and elegance.

About
SEC

SEC’s strength lies in its constructive clarity and its compositional freedom. Each element is designed to integrate precisely into a coherent system, where materials and proportions interact in a balances way. The structure thus becomes a discreet yet expressive support, capable of interpreting different functions and adapting over time, while maintaining a rigorous contemporary aesthetic.

“With SEC, I wanted to offer openness and a wide range of possible uses. Whether it is placed in an office, a living room, a bathroom, or a bedroom, it adapts to any environment thanks to its great versatility. And this is essential for a product designed to last over time.” - Alfredo Häberli
