From the towering cliffs of Santorini to the imposing rock formations of Mount Etna, De Ferranti’s Lava collection channels the raw drama of volcanic landscapes, and these Pinstripe split-faced glazed lava bricks capture that energy with bold vertical movement and a high-contrast, fired finish.

Reminiscent of lava in motion, each brick has an organic, irregular contour that makes every piece feel unique. The split-faced texture amplifies light and shadow, while the glaze brings a subtle metallic depth that shifts across the surface, giving the “Heavy Metal” and “Soft Rock” variations their distinctive mood.

Because lava stone can withstand very high temperatures, it behaves much like ceramic: it can be glazed and fired, allowing for finishes that feel both primal and refined. Our lava can be supplied flat, split-faced, or textured, and can also be decorated with bespoke patterns and designs for special commissions.

These split-faced glazed lava bricks are ideal for dramatic wall features, especially when well lit. We love them imagined as a vertical surface rising from the waterline of a swimming pool all the way to the ceiling, creating a powerful architectural statement.

Available sizes: 20 x 5 cm and 40 x 5 cm. From De Ferranti’s Magma Collection.

Split-Faced Glazed Lava Bricks and Pinstripe Rhythm

The alternating dark brown-black and silver-grey strips create a striped effect, while the irregular reflective faces prevent the repeat from becoming uniform. Compare Heavy Metal for a darker single-surface treatment or Velvet Magma for softer two-tone variation.

Specifying Pinstripe Lava

Lighting direction should be reviewed with samples because the relief changes the balance between shadow, reflection and colour. Joint alignment and the relationship between the 20 x 5 cm and 40 x 5 cm formats can also affect the pinstripe rhythm. The Stone Surfaces with Texture collection provides useful context for tactile mineral finishes.
