To select, to Edit Fine furnishing boutique
I spy with my little eye something beginning with E.
E for Edit that is.
You may have seen Edit stores popping up around town, but this time it’s found a home for good.
Shrug off the banal, and get your creative juices flowing when you walk into this colourful and kooky store. You never know what will spark your imagination.
Masterminds Sharyn Storrier and Belinda Seper have joined forces to create the store, which celebrates all things furnishings. Nothing matches, but that’s just the way store director Storrier likes it. It’s decorating “with a sense of humour.”
Lush digitally-printed fabrics make chairs and lampshades pop with unexpected colour. Storrier’s passion for in reinterpreting old objects to make them new again is addictive.
You’ll find depression glasses moulded together to form vases, old encyclopedias stacked upon one another to create small tables (‘tables of limited knowledge’ they’re called), and sideboards and chairs decoupaged with old music sheets and maps.
It’s vintage-style in a new-fangled way.
P.S. Don’t miss the Wombat Hollow lamps by Michael Yabsley, made from found objects like old machinery, wood, cow-hide and ostrich feathers.
