How to improve a flawless design.

Have you ever been in a Apple Store, no not one of those in the malls, but a real stand alone Apple Store, like the 5th Avenue or the Regent Street Store.

Theses stores are out of this world shopping experiences, they are amazing, just the whole concepts from light to the wood tables it’s amazing.

Now apple are launching a new store design, i prefer calling it tube design, as the stores will have huge glass ends like the picture below, it’s the new Apple store in Scottsdale, Arizona, and it’s Apparently only the first in a row of 100 store that are going to be build/remodeled to this new design
