Concept
This modular component system has a modular frame made from extruded aluminium profiles. All the components in steel, glass or methacrylate are available in 4 heights (160, 255, 350, and 540 mm) and 3 widths (300, 450, and 560 mm). This variety means the system can be put together in an infinite variety of combinations. SEC can be used to make the tiniest bedside table or the largest wall storage unit that can be used as a room separator, or allow light to pass through if it includes coloured methacrylate panels, which from this year are also available in the new variants: clear smoky grey and clear smoky black. The catalogue shows various types of SEC compositions: trolleys, bookcases (open or with drawers), horizontal sideboards and towers. The Alias SEC CD-Rom contains software to help design compositions for any situation, for house or contract use, as well as other compositions for entrance-halls, receptions, retail outlets, offices and public buildings: shelves, storage units, trolleys, dividers, or food trolleys, TV and hi-fi stands, bathroom units and bookshelves.
SEC, the modular storage system elements which allows an infinite variety of combinations is now enriched with the new corner elements. The new extruded profiles, available in anodized natural mat or polished aluminum, along with the corner shelves and panels, allow to create useful corner configurations of different depths.
Thanks to its broad range of dimensions, the practical and versatile SEC can be used to create a variety of products, from the smallest bedside table to the largest wall storage unit.

Alfredo Häberli was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1964. He moved to Switzerland in 1977 and graduated 1991 with distinction in Industrial Design at the Höhere Schule für Gestaltung in Zurich. Today, he is an internationally established designer based in Zurich and is working for some of the leading companies of the international design industry such as Alias, BD Barcelona, BMW, Camper, FSB, Georg Jensen, Iittala, Kvadrat, Luceplan, Moroso, Schiffini and Vitra. He manages to unite tradition with innovation, joy and energy in his designs and his work is strongly influenced by his early childhood in Argentina as well as his curiousness and studies in everyday life. The results are works with a strong expression and emotionality. Alfredo Häberli's work and designs have been shown in numerous exhibitions throughout Europe and he has received many awards for his work during the past 16 years. A personal monograph «Alfredo Häberli - Sketching My Own Landscape» was published by Frame Publishers in Amsterdam and in October 2006 he was guest of honour at the 20th Biennale of Design in Kortrijk, Belgium. In this context the book «Alfredo Häberli Design Live» with photos of some of Switzerlands most influential Artists, interpreting Alfredo Häberlis work, was released and published by Birkhäuser. With his own retrospective exhibition «SurroundThings» in 2008 at the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, for which he was responsible for numerous exhibitions since 1988, a personal dream came true. In 2009 he was awarded by A&W magazine (Architektur & Wohnen) as the «Designer of the Year 2009» and honoured with a monograph exhibition on the occasion of the international furniture fair - imm cologne. Alfredo Häberli has been curating «Atelier Pfister – Neues Schweizer Design» by Pfister AG since 2009. Alfredo Häberli's most extensive project to date, the 25hours Hotel Zurich West, was inaugurated in November 2012. He was responsible for the overall interior decoration and designed more than 60 products for the hotel. In 2014 Alfredo Häberli received the prestigious Swiss Grand Prix of Design from the Swiss Federal Office of Culture.
