Distinct design.
Every edition is its own creative record, not a revised reissue of the one before it.
THE EDITION ARCHIVE
The record begins after the close.
The MERKE Archive is reserved for editions whose Founder Collection allocation has actually closed. Active editions remain available on the main site until they earn their permanent record here.
THE ARCHIVE OPENS AT THE CLOSE
Records are earned, not pre-listed.
An archive is not a product grid. It is the retained record of work that had a defined beginning and a defined end. Only after a Founder Collection closes does an edition appear here with its original design and matching-number record intact.
EDITION ARCHIVE · COMING SOON
No closed editions yet.
The first record will be added only when the active Founder Collection completes its original allocation. Until then, the Archive remains intentionally clear.
VIEW THE ACTIVE EDITION →ARCHIVE PROTOCOL
Every entry keeps its original terms.
Availability changes. The record does not. The Archive keeps the essential facts visible after an edition has closed.
Fixed allocation.
Each Founder Collection has a defined allocation and one matching number carried across its included pieces.
Visible after close.
When a Founder Collection closes, the edition remains documented here rather than disappearing.
THE NEXT RECORD
The next edition will earn its own place.
Future MERKE editions will arrive with a new design and a new allocation. Their Archive record begins only after their own allocation closes.
