Growing up in the Lot-et-Garonne and Dordogne regions of France, Igor SOLART was fascinated by architectural heritage and old materials, and was only 20 when he created his first products. Working alone in his studio, he reproduces Gothic fireplaces and other ornamental elements in reconstituted stone. Renovation architects spotted him and became his first customers.

In 1995, he created ORSOL, whose signature was "L'empreinte du passé". A first range of products for the general public was created, and enabled the company to make a name for itself at regional level with the Manoir and Briquette collections. The success of these products lies in their unrivalled aesthetics: ultra-realistic reproductions of aged stone.

ORSOL continued to expand nationally, then internationally: in 2000, the company built its first industrial building with a manufacturing unit in Saint-Quentin-du-Dropt (Lot-et-Garonne).

In 2005, the company generated sales of 1 million euros.

ORSOL diversifies materials and offers wall facings made from 50 to 100 year-old clay bricks: the Brikélia brand is born.

By 2021, the company will have 83 employees and annual sales of 11 million euros. It is also the year in which the CSTB issues an ATEx certifying the reliability of ORSOL facings and the IDEAPOSE process.

ORSOL has given its image a facelift with a resolutely contemporary new logo, incorporating the brand's core values of technical expertise, innovation and aesthetic appeal.

ORSOL products have made the company a success, and it now has over 4,500 customers and is involved in major real estate projects.
