Pyrolave

We also stand for well thought-out solutions when it comes to materials.
Pyrolave combines stone, craftsmanship and design - robust, individual, uncompromising.
If you have any questions or would like personal advice, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Lava as a statement
Enamelled in colour, shape and character

Created from fire, moulded over thousands of years, refined by hand: Pyrolave brings the raw power of nature into a new dimension of design. In Volvic, in the heart of France, the lava stone is quarried and refined into enamelled surfaces in complex processes - each of which is unique.

The surface tells its story with every crack structure, every colour gradient, every gloss level. Whether matt, opaque or deep gloss Pyrolave is more than a material: it is an expression.

Whether it's a worktop, washbasin, reception or piece of furniture, enamelled lava sets accents without being loud. It remains calm, solid and present. And it withstands heat, frost, time and trends.

Those who think material will love Pyrolave: powerful, uncompromising and yet full of subtlety.

The lava stone comes from Volvic (France) - directly from the Auvergne Nature Park.

Durable

Pyrolave is extremely resistant and remains stable for decades - both visually and functionally.

Heat-resistant and UV-resistant

The surface permanently withstands extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

Frost resistant

Ideal for indoor and outdoor use - the material remains intact even in sub-zero temperatures.

Easy to clean

The enamelled surface is smooth, hygienic and particularly easy to clean.

Scratch resistant

Robust and suitable for everyday use - Pyrolave can withstand heavy use without any problems.

Pyrolave Lava in 34 colours, refined with character

Material characterises a room, but what if it is more than just a surface? Pyrolave takes design to a new level. Real lava is quarried in France, enamelled and refined to create a stone with depth, colour and expression.

The result is more than just a choice of materials: It is a design statement. Lines remain clear, the volume appears calm without the distraction of technology. Pyrolave thus enables a design that is precise down to the last detail.

Whether worktop, washbasin or piece of furniture: Pyrolave can be flexibly shaped and customised. There is a choice of 34 glaze colours, from natural tones to accent colours. In addition, over 6,000 variants can be realised: matt, glossy, gradient or opaque. Every surface is unique.

The material is also impressive in functional terms: durable, easy to clean and frost-resistant. It withstands heat, scratches and time for rooms with high standards and substance.

Pyrolave is the solution for all those who consciously choose material for design with attitude, effect and character.

Applications

Pyrolave can be used in countless applications indoors and outdoors, privately and publicly. Whether boutique hotel or eat-in kitchen, reception counter or design bar: enamelled lava stone adapts to your needs and lends character and substance to any project.

From volcano to unique specimen

Born from fire, moulded by time: lava stone is a natural material with an unmistakable character. In Volvic, in the heart of the French Massif Central, basalt has been quarried for generations and is renowned for its resilience and natural elegance.

Originally used for cathedrals, fountains and monuments, the stone only really comes into its own in enamelled form, made world-famous by the Paris metro signs.

Today, Pyrolave Suisse brings this exceptional material to Switzerland: precisely processed, individual in colour, uncompromising in design for kitchens, bathrooms and interiors with attitude.
