Recinto

Also known as volcanic rock is made
from lava solidification.

Recinto also known as volcanic rock is made from lava solidification. Created when lava cools down rapidly on land surface after a volcanic eruption. A distinct and enigmatic material with a porous texture that may vary in refinement. Rich nuances of dark grey are created through irregular variations on the surface. This strong and resistant rock has been present in Mexico, used by several Mesoamerican cultures, mainly for sculptures, kitchen utensils and architecture. The most iconic examples are the Mexican Molcajete and Metate, both Mortars used already over 3500 years. Recinto, deeply rooted in Mexican culture, represents historical richness. A material with an unquestionable aesthetic.
