Everything has been edited at EDIT, like moulded Depression glass, often found in the back of nanna’s bureau that has been transformed into beautiful assemblages in the form of delightful lamps and objects. And the stacks of old encyclopaedias that have been bolted together to become witty side tables. The 1970s vases and bowls placed on top of each other become amusing table and side lamps. In these, one can see the play of scale that is present in so many of the clever objects created for this store.
The original and exciting fabric designs, driven by Sharyn Storrier Lyneham's love of fabrics, are in someway the backbone of the EDIT vision. Jewels, hedgerows, chandleries, old shutters, and funky fifty style patterns are all inspirations for the fabric range, which is digitally printed on silk, hemp, velvet, and linen. The fabrics are found on lampshades, furniture, cushions, and even mannequins.
Hand painted plates, by Susan Hipgrave, hand painted chairs, screens and cushions created by Nina Davies, ceramics with the theme of marine life created by Luke Scibberas, watercolours by artist Matthew Lander and photography by Ben Storrier fill the bright space of EDIT. There is a sense of fission when you enter this store, because these art pieces, as well as the furniture and other witty objects, generate a feeling of geniune creativity.
I discovered EDIT one Saturday morning, just wandering around Sydney’s Surry Hills.
It is a delight and adventure for those who walk through the front door. It deserves to be supported as Sharyn's aim is to recycle and reinvent from what already exists.
It is yet another example of SHIFTAZINE thinking. Well done!
