Unlike conventional design concepts used in cannabis retail stores, StudioAC took a sophisticated, yet minimalist, approach when creating Editions’ design aesthetic.
“Rather than the act of designing shelves, displays or sales desks, we wanted to produce a singular design element, a sculpture of sorts that has its own aesthetic quality and massing that simultaneously is inspired by existing conditions while also setting out to define new ones,” said Studio AC co-founder Jennifer Kudlats.
A sleek front-of-house gallery hides the retail area, in line with Canada’s regulations and restrictions around cannabis branding. Customers enter the narrow space and are met with elongated tables and ceiling made from off-the- shelf industrial grating. The monochromatic interior allows for tastefully curated and cannabis products and accessories to become the focal point for the shopper.
