‘Normal is boring’ is the philosophy of this assertive concept, which is also included in the DNA of the JF Rey design. It stands out for its creative, asymmetric form, both ultra-thin and original metal cutting, custom colours and a visual graphic strength. The concept highlights the hand-made know how of the brand in the work of colourful metal frames.

This model was presented at Mido 2007 in Milan and immediately impressed. Commonly called ‘Scorpion’ due to its silver stainless-steel design that evokes the scorpion shell, this spectacular design made a strong style statement. Urban, futuristic, surprising with a very contemporary construction, the frame confirms the innovative independent player approach of Jean-François Rey. This concept still attracts JF Rey fans today.
