Trees + The Apple Store = The Future!
Nick Statt at The Verge:
In downtown San Francisco, situated across the street from the city’s iconic Union Square Park, Apple’s newest vision for retail is close to being realized. The new store, which opens this Saturday, includes 42-foot sliding glass doors that double as two-story windows, a 6K video screen on the second floor, and living trees lining its new customer support section. It also sports a backyard “forum” that will be open 24 hours a day, featuring a 50-foot green wall, free Wi-Fi, and 47-year-old restored fountain from San Francisco sculptor Ruth Asawa.
I wouldn’t mind more Genius Bar workers, but fine, I’ll take trees instead.
