From heritage to object of light
Crafted by a family of stonemasons for generations, La Croix-Huyart stone now enters the world of interior design. Sourced from the very quarry selected for the reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris, this unique material gives rise to pieces where memory, matter, and contemporary design converge.
“From block to slab, from simple finished product to the most complex moldings, right through to installation, thanks to several decades of acquired experience. A young, promising stony trilogy.”
Denis Cettour, Pierre Actual
"The BRGM launched a research project with a list of criteria to find stones with characteristics closest to the originals. Ours ticked the most boxes, whether in terms of hardness, pressure resistance, or visual appearance."
Justine Saint-Sevin, France 3 Hauts-de-France
"A quarry in La Croix Huyart, in Bonneuil-en-Valois, will supply some 640 m³ of Lutetian limestone, formed about 45 million years ago [...] A stone widely used, notably for the construction of Haussmann buildings and monuments in the capital. Including Notre-Dame."
Philippe Mirkovic, Ouest France
