MARSEILLE – since 1986
For forty years, J.F. REY has been designing eyewear. Objects created for the face, shaped by material, colour and detail.
The story begins in the Jura, the historic home of French eyewear. J.F. REY is a design house entirely dedicated to eyewear.
Our studio approaches the product as a whole: concept, design, colour, material, construction and technical development. Colour is not added at the end of the process. Technology is not hidden. Functional components can become visual signatures.
This approach allows us to create very different collections while maintaining a recognisable identity. J.F. REY is not built around a formula, but around a culture of the product and a consistent way of approaching design questions.
From an early age, Jean-François Rey discovered the precision of the craft, an understanding of materials and the demands of manufacturing. From his very first drawings, he saw eyewear as more than a purely functional object.
Based in Marseille, he developed a personal language of graphic structures, contrasts and colour. In 1995, J.F. REY became a brand in its own right and began building its international presence.
