JF REY > Clear Vision For The Future

Clear Vision for the future of the Maison JEAN-FRANÇOIS REY

The Maison JEAN-FRANÇOIS REY is known for many years as an artistic icon and innovative design house, with an individual signature and a great design team creating unique made in France products.

The company has been successfully operating for decades on a worldwide level as an ambassador of French design culture.

Jean-François Rey decided, a few months ago, as a result of a long and profound analysis to hand over the responsibility and the control of the company into the hands of Walter Pirinoli, Dan Levi and Ralf Kmoch as a well planned shift in ownership.

The three managers joined forces years ago, are highly experienced specialists in the eyewear business (Visibilia/Visioptis) and see great potential in further developing the unique brands and preparing the company for all future challenges.

Their vision of maintaining the origins and structures of the Maison JEAN-FRANÇOIS REY, embracing the core contents of design and quality driven approach as well as the international experience they represent, convinced Joëlle and Jean-François also on a personal level.

Joëlle and Jean-François Rey will continue to manage and support the design team, which is essential to prepare the company for future challenges, maintaining the iconic concept of design and colors and assuring continuity to the Maison JEAN-FRANÇOIS REY.

“I am deeply convinced that the steps undertaken will be the best to keep on writing the success story of the Maison JEAN-FRANÇOIS REY we have developed together in a way that my legacy and contribution will be substantial also for the years to come.” - Jean-François Rey – Honorary President

“We feel highly honoured that Joëlle and Jean-François have accepted our proposal understanding our sincere and professional approach. Therefore we can assure that a cautious evolution, maintaining the core values of the Maison JEAN-FRANÇOIS REY is our mission.” - Walter Pirinoli - CEO
