A mineral jewel in the heart of New York
In the restaurant Zaytinya in New York, Pyrolave glazed lavastone stands out as a true architectural line at the heart of the space. Conceived as a structuring element of the venue, this custom-made glazed lavastone counter unfolds a strong, almost sculptural presence, where the material itself becomes a language.
From our Colour Research, this deep blue between midnight blue and navy—reveals a rare intensity. The dense, luminous surface captures every reflection and follows the length of the bar with seamless continuity. The rounded edges soften the overall silhouette, creating a piece that is both powerful and organic, where design naturally follows the movement of the space.
A mastery of craftsmanship at the service of precision
Each element of this project was crafted in our workshops with absolute precision. The glazed lavastone, shaped by hand, reveals here its full technical and aesthetic potential: a mineral material transformed by fire, enhanced by enamel, and mastered down to the finest detail.
The installation of this piece, with its elongated lines and soft curves, requires millimetric precision, ensuring perfect continuity throughout. This level of craftsmanship reflects Pyrolave’s DNA: transforming a raw material into a refined, durable, and functional architectural element.
Design as a signature of the place
This project perfectly illustrates the meeting of interior design, hospitality and French know-how. The counter does not simply equip the space: it defines it, it structures it, it gives it an identity.
Thanks to color research and the expertise of our workshops, the material becomes a true creative tool for architects and designers. Here, enameled lava is not just something to be looked at: it is something to be experienced, it captures light, it creates an atmosphere.
Pyrolave supports the most demanding projects worldwide, offering bespoke luxury materials, where each creation tells a unique story.
