more on the Fifth Avenue store

  • 아티클

The 5th Avenue store is opening, and the pictures are pouring in. (Check out this set from last night, not to mention this thread over at Gothamist.) It appears that the new store is open 24 hours, just in case you have Aperture questions at 3am.

The design does look quite nice, but I have to wonder how they’re going to keep that glass clean. They’ve got to have an army of window-cleaners on staff.

    It is very possible that Steve got his idea from his regular trip to Paris. He might have been impress by the Louvre pyramid...

    Saint Gobain, the company that did the glass for this pyramid created a special glass that is both self cleaning and completely translucent, avoiding the "green" effect of thick glasses...

    BAM

    Some type of self-cleaning glass would make sense because a flock of pigeons on a bad day could do some interesting things to the store.

    The store does look gorgeous.  I want to make it out to NYC before the end of the year and visiting the store will be near the top of my list of sights that I must see.
