The Apple store in Pudong, Singapore is a temple for all who religiously follow the technology giant’s products.
And now Apple has been granted a patent, not for one of its products, but the giant glass cylinder staircase that sits at the heart of the Singapore outlet.
The staircase is comprised of a glass tube that has curved glass stairs snaking around it.
The glass tube has a white Apple logo floating inside, and a small, shallow moat surrounding it.
The glass cylinder leads to the local underground beneath a square central business district of Lujiazui in Pudong.
It was designed by architect Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, who has also worked with Apple stores in New York and in London.
Apple's patent not only covers the design of the cylinder, but more also the type of glass and construction methods used to erect such a structure, according to Apple Insider.
