Exclusive designer of the Tresserra Collection, Jaime Tresserra studied law at the University of Barcelona, although he later abandoned his studies to become an interior designer, designing exclusive furniture for his clients. After several years as an interior designer, Tresserra decided to create his own company, and presented his first furniture collection at the International Furniture Fair in Valencia in 1987, where he won the award for best modern furniture design. During the following years he continued to present his creations annually at the International Furniture Fairs in Milan and Cologne, achieving a good reception from both the public and the critics. These were also years in which he tackled large-scale interior design projects, such as the El Dorado Petit restaurant in New York, the headquarters of the Cuatrecasas law firm and others. In the early nineties his designs received awards such as the ID International Design Magazine Award, for the Carlton-House piece "Butterfly"; the International Design Review Award'90 in New York, or the ID Golden Award for the design "Dune". For the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, he designed the interior design of the twenty-eight luxury apartments located on the top floors of the building for the Arts Building (today Hotel Arts), a work that earned him great international recognition. Two years later, in 1994, he created the Tresserra Collection brand, which was presented in a new showroom. The recognition of the handcrafted quality of his pieces, his presence in the most important fairs and the relevance of his latest projects led to the opening of his own stores in cities such as Paris, Madrid, London, Moscow, Berlin, Boston, Chicago and St. Petersburg in 2000.
