Our collections consists of sustainable interior products, design products for food & drinks, bags, lifestyle accessories and covers & cases for electronical devices. New for this season are the products made of soft Nordic elk leather. We believe that the origin of the material are very important. All of our products are made of materials from the pure Finnish nature and inspired by the harsh, mysterious Arctic. As opposed to mass production, all of our products are handmade and produced in the most natural way as possible. This means that every single product is unique and one of a kind. The products are handmade in the small Finnish town with a long history of leather production, Kokkola. www.gedigo.fi 17 II Pezzo Mancante Il Pezzo 3 Chandelier Inspired by Arabic calligraphic art and the icon of the classical candelabrum is Il Pezzo 3 Chandelier: a hand-forged structure and crystal candles illuminated by LEDs.

Celebrating the tercentenary of English Freemasonry, in 2017, this new and permanent addition to the Library & Museum of Freemasonry ‘Three Centuries of English Freemasonry’ is set within the magnificent Art Deco Freemasons’ Hall, 60 Great Queen Street, in London’s Covent Garden. Originally designed in the 1930s as the Library & Museum’s Reading Room, the new gallery has been transformed to walk the visitor through three hundred years of history, featuring highlights from lodges across the centuries, tracing the development of freemasonry from its origins in the early days of industrialisation, urbanisation and empire to the significant social institution which it had become by the 19th century and explores how modern freemasonry fits into today’s world.
