Alpine is drawn from the mineral palette of high-altitude stone, pale chalk, compressed limestone, and the chalk white of morning light on travertine. A natural bone white drawn from raw diatomaceous earth, not dyed, not coated. It reads as soft mineral white in direct light, shifting toward warm ivory as the room dims.

Summit takes its tone from volcanic basalt — the natural gray of cooled stone, the density of smoked oak, the authority of matte black steel. It is the variant for bathrooms built around enclosure: low light, heavy materials, a deliberate sense of shelter. The surface absorbs ambient light rather than reflecting it.

Porosity as function
At a microscopic level, diatomaceous earth is composed of millions of hollow silica shells, the fossil remains of diatoms. Each is perforated with precise apertures that draw liquid inward through capillary action. The porosity is the nature of the material itself, present from formation rather than added by treatment.

It is a surface problem, waiting for a mineral solution.
Mineral discipline
MEGEM makes one object. From stone. There are no seasonal editions and no material experiments. Only the surface, made for water.
