Natural stone lava

Untreated, unadulterated, straight from the quarry. Its warm grey colour palette, distinctive texture and centuries-old history make it a material with depth, character and heritage.

Lava stone in its purest form

Would you like to incorporate raw, mythical natural stone into your project? Then experience first-hand its unique grain, its natural depth and lava in its most pristine form.

The warm grey hues of the lava from Volvic are unmistakable and cannot be compared to any other lava or basalt anywhere in the world. They give the material its characteristic, inimitable signature: powerful, authentic and timeless.

The raw power, stylishly staged

Whether used as a fireplace cladding, floor slab or sculptural element, untreated lava stone brings an archaic depth to modern interiors. Its natural colour, texture and history create a unique ambience that is both powerful and clear.

Timeless and appreciated for centuries

Natural lava stone is not only extremely durable, but also lends rooms a distinctive depth. It was used as far back as the Middle Ages for cathedrals and fountains – many of these structures still stand today.
