Following the opening of its very first retail space in Toronto, an event we covered in a previous post, cannabis purveyor Edition is riding the wave of popularity of its fully legalised merchandise, opening a second design-led outpost in the city. Situated just a few blocks north from in the leafy Humewood-Cedarvale neighbourhood, the store sees a renewed collaboration with local architecture practice StudioAC. The objective to create an understated and uncluttered space with a singular volume has once again been applied, albeit adapted to the dimensions of the new outpost and slightly tweaked to lend it a distinct identity all its own. More specifically, a 90-degree triangulation has been utilised, allowing the industrial fibre glass grating material to become its own structure and produce both bracing and support simultaneously. Adhering to cannabis retail regulations, vertical grid screens in zig-zag position have been used to shield the merchandise from street views, and inside the Edition store, this construction effortlessly morphs into a display and a sales counter. An elongated display takes centre stage, featuring three additional glass trays, additional while a narrow ledge running along the other side wall offers more space to present merchandise. The walls are dipped in a subtle lime hue to provide texture and light play across the premises. The new Edition store carries the full range of cannabis products, related tools and lifestyle merchandise.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
