For thousands
of years
At the heart of Auvergne mountains in France, there is a treasure
One day, the Volcans d’Auvergne Natural Park witnessed the birth
of the Nugère crater. 11,000 years. This stone is an ancestor. A primitive stone. Neolithic.
It dates from the time when the volcanoes of France were beginning to erupt, when mammoths still trod the Earth. Petrified by the wind, the lava turned to stone. A prehistoric stone, around before the first humans.

Lava yields to no-one, but we’ve learnt to master it. In the Castelsarrasin workshop (South West of France), our craftsmen work closely with the material. Our numerically controlled machinery ensures precision, and we always finish our products by hand.
You simply have to see these master craftsmen at work. A fluid movement, in a single stroke, something you can only learn from many years’ experience.
With thousands of recipes and secrets, we can study all of your projects.
And the colour always reveals itself in the end.
Coming out of the oven
Revelation
If you come to see us early in the morning, you’ll hear what sounds like bells. Don’t be fooled!
It’s the unique tinkling sound you get when the ovens are opened
and the enamelled lava meets the cool air.
The grand finale The piece of lava is ready!
