Sequence
A shelving system sculpting space through light, form, and movement

2024–2025

Product Design

Introduction

In collaboration with Barcelona Design (BD), Snøhetta has designed and developed Sequence, a new shelving system unlike conventional storage. More than a product, Sequence is a sculptural design that transforms the spaces it inhabits, through a play on composition, contrast and architectural clarity.

The name Sequence reflects the collection's conceptual foundation: a spatial narrative defined by variation, progression, and rhythm. With each module offering a unique scale and proportion, Sequence creates structures that evolve with time, use, and interaction—inviting fluidity into the built environment.

Sculpting space through light, form, and movement

At its core is an ultra-thin 6 mm Fenix® surface—refined, durable, and matte—pushing the limits of material as structure. Custom-designed aluminium connectors, crafted from Hydro recycled aluminium, combine precision engineering with sustainable values.

The result is a flat-pack modular system that is easy to assemble, tactile in use, and architecturally grounded.

Built to endure

Crafted with an ultra-thin 6 mm Fenix® profile and joined by precision-engineered, recycled aluminium, Sequence is built to endure. Its refined strength and modular flexibility allow it to move with you—shifting through the evolving sequences of life, always ready to adapt and hold your books, your objects and your stories.

The collection

Sequence includes a family of eight shelving units, available in both freestanding and wall-mounted versions. Launching exclusively at 3 Days of Design in five colors—the collection offers designers flexibility in both palette and spatial expression.

From intimate interiors to open architectural contexts, Sequence invites a rethinking of shelving as a living, evolving part of the spatial experience—fluid, rhythmic, and deeply intentional.
