Prologue" model bookcase, designed by Jaime Tresserra in 1995. The piece responds to the technical and refined language of the Catalan designer, characterized by the combination of noble materials, visible constructive solutions and an architectural conception of furniture.

With a modular and open structure, it has vertical uprights, wide adjustable shelves and a lower body with drawers, integrating display function and storage capacity. The metal fittings and adjustment systems provide a marked technical character, while the warmth of the wood and leather balance the whole with an elegant and sophisticated presence.

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.
