 At the upcoming Hotel Show from 28 to 30 September 2015 in Dubai, family business Tradition Pierre will show off its products drawing on its expertise in cutting and working rare volcanic stone from the Auvergne region. The company’s pieces are equally at home as part of indoor or outdoor luxury decor.

 

For over 30 years, Tradition Pierre has been hand-crafting Volvic stone using 100% French traditional methods. The volcanic origins of the mineral, extracted from the Auvergne region of central France, make it highly resistant to extremes of temperature, water and atmospheric damage.

 

Recognized in France, Tradition Pierre is now securing its position in major international markets. The firm, which already has a presence in Switzerland and India, is exhibiting its products and expertise for the first time at The Hotel Show. The exhibition’s regional scope has motivated the company to address this booming market and the region’s many architects, landscapers and designers. The increasing number of luxury hotels in Dubai represents a real source of growth potential for the firm.

 

In the outdoor segment, the firm’s master craftsmen create highly expressive statues and faces carved in stone, vases, benches, pavilions, colonnades and fountains that enhance parks and gardens. They also make swimming pools, bathrooms and kitchens using enameled lava. This high-quality material comes in a wide range of luxury finishes and colors. 

 

In indoor decor, Tradition Pierre predominantly uses decorative wrought iron combined with enameled lava or Volvic stone. Its unique creations incorporate a wide variety of materials such as zinc, iron, copper and other metals. Some are gold-plated or encrusted with precious stones – for example, a pair of fish or a shell face. 

 

Its decorative items, made using natural minerals, can be fully adapted to suit the customer’s requirements. Its high-end custom projects are monitored from design through to completion by a team of international architects and designers.

 

Jean-Charles Matrone, C.E.O of Tradition Pierre, comments: “I’m very much looking forward to attending the show along with my team. We want to let our imagination and expertise blossom in the Gulf region and take advantage of this three-day show to give birth to new projects. Matrone added: “I’m in the habit of saying that the art of success consists of surrounding oneself with the best to strive for excellence and create something extraordinary.”
