About the brand

The house was founded in Hong Kong in 2012 by Ti Kwa, a Malaysian-born designer, and Jean-Marc Virard. The frames are made by hand in their Hong Kong atelier, from buffalo horn, wood, titanium, copper, silver and aluminium-magnesium alloy. Each piece passes through the hands of one artisan, from choosing the material to the final polish.

Its own workshop in Hong Kong

Rigards makes its frames in its own Hong Kong atelier. There is no factory a drawing gets sent to - every step, from choosing the material to the final polish, happens in one place and through one pair of hands.

The first collection was in genuine buffalo horn. Horn cannot be moulded, only cut and ground, and every plate has its own colour and grain.

A first collection in horn

The first Rigards collection was in genuine buffalo horn. Today the house also works with wood, titanium, copper, silver and an aluminium-magnesium alloy.
