Introducing the REEF x Coral Morph Collaboration
We're thrilled to announce our partnership with Coral Morphologic, an innovative leader in coral conservation and ocean advocacy. Together, we've crafted a special edition of our Homey slipper, designed to bring you closer to the ocean even when you're cozy at home. Each pair supports the Coral City Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting Miami from the effects of climate change and rising sea levels through sustainable, nature-based solutions.
About Coral Morphologic
Founded in 2007 by marine biologist Colin Foord and musician J McKay, Coral Morphologic is a unique blend of science, art, and conservation. Based in Miami, this visionary team uses underwater media to showcase the beauty and diversity of coral reefs worldwide, captivating audiences and raising awareness about the threats facing these delicate ecosystems. Coral Morphologic’s work is more than visually stunning; it’s a call to action, inspiring people to protect and restore coral reefs for future generations.
The Collaboration: Style Meets Purpose
Our collaboration brings together REEF's comfort-driven design with Coral Morphologic's stunning coral-inspired aesthetics. The Homey slipper combines cushy, supportive comfort with coral patterns and vibrant colors, embodying the ocean’s beauty. But this collaboration is more than just style; it’s about raising awareness of the urgent need to protect coral reefs. While you’re getting cozy in your Homeys, you can also tune into Coral Morphologic’s live Coral City Camera to experience Miami’s underwater ecosystem in real-time.
Coral Morphologic’s Artistic Mission
Coral Morphologic’s work bridges art and science with the aim of preserving Miami's corals. These "urban corals" have found homes along Miami’s seawalls and highway edges, where they’re adapting to human influence in unprecedented ways. Coral Morphologic collaborates with researchers from NOAA and the University of Miami to study these resilient corals, which may offer insights into coral survival on a global scale. A key part of their work is the Coral City Camera, an underwater livestream that offers a unique glimpse into Miami’s marine biodiversity, bringing the ocean’s wonders directly to the public.
A Special Design Inspired by Coral
The Homey slipper, designed in partnership with Coral Morphologic, features a unique coral stitching pattern inspired by a brain coral grown in Coral Morphologic’s Miami lab. Available in two colorways, this design captures the essence of Miami's coral life, from sunny daytime hues to vibrant nighttime shades, bringing a splash of ocean beauty to your home.
Making a Difference: How This Collaboration Supports Coral Reef Conservation
With every purchase of our Coral Morphologic Homey slipper, a portion of sales will be donated to Coral Morphologic’s Coral City Foundation. This support goes towards raising awareness and furthering research on Miami’s unique "urban coral" environment. By joining us in this collaboration, you’re not only embracing comfort and style; you’re also contributing to the survival and understanding of coral reefs around the world.
Slip into the Coral Morph Homeys, immerse yourself in the beauty of Miami's coral with the Coral City Camera, and join us in supporting coral conservation.
