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.
