CORAL CURRENCY
CORAL CURRENCY
Coral Currency is a heartfelt tribute to Australia’s magnificent coral reefs; an ode to euphoric adventures exploring our stunning reefs, and soulful memoriam of coral lost to degradation, bleaching and cyclonic impact.
Inspired by rich memories of Whitsunday Island’s Butterfly Bay, encapsulating vivid witness of these devastating impacts over recent decades, the sculpted form of 68 hexagonal cells shapes to the natural topography of the bay. Coral-like forms emerge from the softly glowing surface; evoking captivating snorkelling expeditions discovering the reef’s endless treasures, dazzling rippled sunlight dancing all around.
Coral Currency has been created in a limited edition of 6.

CARE
3D Printed Polymers
Our 3D printed Treasures are designed in form and material to be strong and durable, however, just like any shell you’ve found washed up on the beach the print’s deposition layers can crack and separate under excessive pressure, such as being knocked against a hard surface. Please look after your Treasure as you would look after any cherished item.
As per many materials the colour and form of 3D printed polymers may change over time when exposed to environmental conditions such as UV rays. Whilst we do not consider this subtle adaption over time to be a flaw – more so an appropriately natural ‘ageing’ reaction formed over time that enhances the individuality of each Treasure – to best maintain your 3D printed Treasure’s original condition limit exposure to UV rays by keeping out of direct sunlight and store in the provided protective bag or container when not in use or on display.
Lights
Keep your illuminated Treasure in pristine condition by gently wiping with a soft cloth and/or brush. In case of mishap gently scrub the affected area with a soft brush dipped in a solution of warm water and hand soap, taking care to avoid moisture reaching electrical components; wipe clean with a soft cloth to remove all residue and ensure the Treasure is fully dry before turning on the light. Avoid any exposure of electrical components to water or other liquids.
