Pyrolave is natural volcanic lava stone extracted from our quarry in central France. As tough as stone, with all the durability and beauty of enamel. It is chemically inert – it will never burn, stain or erode – and it can be glazed in every colour and shade imaginable.

Volvic lava stone has a celebrated architectural history in France, with many cathedrals, municipal buildings and public spaces being constructed from the natural material. Glazed lava was developed in the 19th century.

Our journey began 35 years ago with the creation of Pyrolave. We set out to create an exemplary, environmentally sustainable process to source natural lava stone.
