Apple unveiled its 32-foot glass cube last night at approx 7:50pm EST. Aesthetically, it’s an industrial work of art, featuring a giant backlit Apple logo, glass-enclosed cylindrical elevator, and a spiral glass staircase. Lots of pics after the jump.

“Besides the unusual elevator design, and the staircase that curves downward around it, the cube has another interesting feature — it’s all open to the lower floor,” Allen wrote. “That is, you can walk up to the outside glass of the cube, look through and see right down into the store itself.”
