Bench model "Imagine", designed by Jaime Tresserra Clapés in 1995. The piece reflects the refined and constructive language characteristic of the Catalan designer, based on the use of noble materials, formal precision and a marked attention to detail. Made of light walnut, it has a structure of curved and continuous lines, where support and seat are integrated in a single gesture of great elegance.

The seat, upholstered in hazelnut-colored cowhide leather and divided into longitudinal bands, adds visual rhythm and comfort, underlining the handcrafted quality of the whole. The stainless steel hardware introduces a technical and contemporary contrast, balancing the warmth of wood and leather.

Jaime Tresserra began his projection in 1987 when he presented his first collection at the Valencia International Furniture Fair, where he won the Award for Best Modern Furniture Design. In 1994 he founded Tresserra Collection, a firm dedicated to the exclusive production of his designs. His pieces were exhibited at international fairs such as Milan and Cologne and received awards such as the ID International Design Magazine Award and the International Design Review Award in New York, consolidating him as a reference in Spanish design at the end of the 20th century.
