Riadh Bouaziz is a textile innovator redefining what luxury means in the 21st century. As Founder, CEO, and Chairman of RKF Luxury Linen, he has transformed a niche family business into a global brand synonymous with innovation, bespoke craftsmanship, and the French art of living. Born in Tunisia and educated in France, Riadh trained as a quality control engineer before launching RKF in 2000. Today, the company serves over 50,000 high-end clients, including five-star hotels, spas, and wellness centres across 85 countries.
Under Riadh’s leadership, RKF has developed more than fifteen patented fabrics and received twenty-six international awards for design and innovation. During the pandemic, he pivoted production to create sustainable PPE for frontline workers, demonstrating RKF’s agility and social responsibility. In 2023, Riadh was awarded the prestigious Chevalier in the National Order of Merit by the French government, an honour rarely bestowed in the textile industry.
Through his global talks, mentorship of emerging entrepreneurs, and thought leadership on wellness, sustainability, and design, Riadh continues to inspire a new generation of makers. His philosophy is “Think positive, do positive, feel positive,” a sentiment that shapes not only his personal ethos but also the culture of RKF, which he envisions not just as a brand but as a legacy of excellence, empathy, and transformation.
