Not enough information

To many variables to get an Internet answer

Should hire a fire protection engineer
 
What more information you need ?
The material stored inside the rack is wooden furniture.
 
What more?

Lots.

What kind of construction for starters, pitch of roof and that sort of thing. Placement of structural members remembering it is impossible to install an ESFR system in bays measuring 7 meters at heights you suggest.

What's your water supply? This alone will have a lot of impact on what head to use.

I wouldn't select a head unless I was prepared to design the entire system and you shouldn't either. Do yourself a favor and leave the design up to the qualified individual.
 
Good day!

There are alot of parameters need to consider before you can select a sprinkler for a warehouse project.

Kindly go through NFPA-13 chapter 13-20 to have an idea regarding the required information.
 
I think a deluge head is the way to go
