Bruno Rey was born in 1935 in Brugg in the canton of Aargau. After an apprenticeship in carpentry, from 1957 he studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Zurich, graduating in 1960 from Willy Guhl’s class. In 1966 he co-founded the Swiss Design Association, opened his own studio in Baden in 1968, and another in Gebenstorf in 1987.
His designs include Caslon (1959) for Eternit AG and, for Dietiker, bar stools (1970) and the Rey chair, model 3300 (1971, patent 1972). Program 33 was created in 1972. From 1977 he worked with Charles Polin; together they designed, among other pieces, Quadro W (1989). He also worked for Kusch+Co. He died in 2019.
