Art Beyond the White Cube:
How The Edit Gallery Transforms Living Store into a Curated Home
At The Edit Gallery, we believe that art should live with us, not only on the pristine walls of a gallery, but within the spaces we inhabit every day. Our ongoing collaboration with Living Store in Limassol reflects this philosophy, creating a bridge between contemporary art and interior design. Together, we invite audiences to experience art not as something separate, but as an integral part of the home, personal, inspiring, and alive.
From White Walls to Warm Interiors
Traditional galleries often rely on the “white cube” aesthetic: pristine walls, minimal distractions, a neutral setting designed to isolate each artwork. While effective in drawing attention to the work itself, it can also distance the viewer from imagining how art belongs in their daily life.
Through our collaboration with Living Store, we propose an alternative. Here, artworks are placed alongside thoughtfully curated design objects, tables, chairs, lighting, and textiles, creating a living dialogue between art and environment. The result is a space that feels authentic, personal, and accessible, where art is experienced as part of life rather than apart from it.

Experiencing Art as Part of Life
In this setting, works by artists from Cyprus and around the world reveal new dimensions. A sculpture may catch natural light filtering through a window; a painting might reflect the warmth of a nearby lamp. Each placement transforms the work, making it tangible and relatable.
For collectors, this experience is invaluable. It allows them to see how an artwork interacts with light, texture, and proportion in real living conditions. For artists, it offers the opportunity to see their work resonate within dynamic, human spaces rather than neutral walls.
Moving Away from the Mass-Market Mentality
In an era dominated by mass-produced décor, The Edit Gallery and Living Store reassert the value of authenticity. Each artwork is a one-of-a-kind creation that carries the artist’s voice, energy, and intent. Unlike generic wall décor, these pieces are meant to be lived with, contemplated, and cherished.
This approach not only elevates interiors but also nurtures cultural appreciation—encouraging people to invest in pieces that hold meaning and contribute to a more thoughtful way of living.
A Curated Dialogue Between Art and Design
At its core, this partnership is about creating a dialogue between disciplines. Design gives art a setting; art gives design soul. Together, they form spaces that inspire emotion, reflection, and connection.
The Edit Gallery and Living Store share a belief that interiors should be more than functional; they should tell stories. This collaboration continues to evolve, offering viewers a richer, more personal way to engage with contemporary art in Cyprus.
