Actually: Apple didn't hire me. Worse: Apple refused to host me at the press opening, for unknown reasons. Happily they uncovered the windows the day before the opening, that's how I could make this shot
No wonder you're out of breath you'd have to move it. They don't have a store in Oxford Street, it's Regents Street....
picky, picky....
I don't get it , Apple claim to be this great eco friendly environmental company and now they are wasting up the Earth's precious sand resources on fancy pants staircases?
First they've been wilfully squandering silicon on their integrated circuits, and now this.
What will our grandchildren use to make sandcastles on the beach?
I really appreciate the effort Apple put in to everything they do. Just walking into the Oxford Street store in London takes your breath away.
This Dutch store looks amazing.[/QUOTE
It must really take your brains away 'cos it is on Regent Street! Otherwise I totally agree!
I imagine everyone using those stairs will be wearing pants?
To be honest, I don't quite understand all the awe. Both the 5th Ave. and Upper West Sides stores have the exact same staircase, and the Chelsea store has one that connects 3 levels. Within the historic building, okay, I get it, but aren't there other stores outside NYC that have these staircases?
Send me to Holland.

Yeh its much better if you chop down some trees and make it from wood?????? If ur joking i dont see the joke, if ur serious, Really?????
From what I can see, the glass central cylinder column for the base support and and the outer panes is held by the several spiraling 2" thick glass stairs. It seems to support itself and gives an illusion of whats holding it together without falling.
Yes. I kept looking a the photo. It's obvious that the inside stairs are supported by the cylinder. But it's not obvious in the photo what is supporting the outside.
I would likely feel different if I saw it in person, but my gut reaction is that this does not look very safe.
Actually, this store looks a whole lot like the Fifth Avenue store in NYC:
