The chalk cliffs on the island of Rügen consist of exceptionally soft limestone, which is made up of perfectly symmetrical spheres. These were formed in the early Cretaceous period, when tiny coccolith algae formed microscopically small, spherical “coccospheres” of carbon dioxide. Their robust shells have been preserved through the geological epochs and they endow the chalk cliffs of Rügen and Dover with their incomparable glow. They emerge from the sea like white gold on the horizon, a radiant legacy of the earth's history. The fine-pored structure of the chalk spheres catches the light, directs it into the curved spaces and emits it softly. The unique pigment structure of the color Isle of Rügen White imparts a friendly glow to walls and facades - they look bright, and pure, and indescribably soft.
