Volume I · Instruments
Documents from the field.
Eight plates drawn from the instruments we built to measure the world — a lens, a drum, a balloon, a mirror. One ink. Heavyweight cotton. Printed to order in the US and the EU.

02 — The blank
240 grams, and nothing on the neck.
We print on a heavyweight ring-spun cotton with a boxy body and a wide shoulder — the kind of blank that holds its shape after a year rather than a season. Garment dyed, so the colour sits in the fibre instead of on top of it. The only label inside is a printed size mark.
Every plate is separated to a single ink and cured at 165 °C. One screen, one pass. If a drawing needs four colours to be interesting, it is not finished.
How it is made
03 — Production
Made after you order it, near where you live.
Orders route to a print floor in the United States or the European Union — whichever is closer. Nothing is warehoused, nothing is destroyed at the end of a season, and no one pays a customs charge on delivery.

05 — The studio
A drawing office, not a merch shop.
Meridian is a small studio that draws one thing at a time. Each plate begins as a technical reference — an elevation, a cutaway, a chart — and is redrawn until it can survive being pressed into cotton at 300 dpi. Volume I took eight of them.
We publish in volumes rather than seasons. When a volume closes, it closes.
