this store and the SF one will have all glass spiral staircases.
Are the stair risers themselves made of glass? What about women who wear skirts or dresses climbing up the steps? If this is true, maybe Apple needs to think a litte more on materials and store design...
Signing off from Tokyo.

I've never been to any of the flagship stores, but I recall them being sandblasted/glazed. You also cannot access the space directly beneath the stairs. There are glass panels all around.
