CORIUM is Latin for animal hide and the name of this striking new pendant from &tradition. With the juxtaposition of the softly shaped curves of a simplified form against the sharp language of leather, CORIUM evokes a mood that is finely balanced between two extremes. The soft curves formed in the tailored leather suggest something almost organic and feminine. Yet it sends out a message of masculine virility, such as found in sports equipment and luxury car interiors.
