Apple Stores

Apple Stores produced by Zahner

Zahner produces several finishes that attracted Apple over a decade ago when they opened their first flagship store in New York's Soho district. Part of the reason Zahner was chosen to produce the metalwork on these projects was due to the new finishes had began producing on Stainless Steel, not unlike the finishes Apple would go on to use on their own products. Of the finishes produced by Zahner®, the Angel Hair™ Mechanical finish and the GB-60™ Bead-blasted stainless surfaces are the highest quality stainless available on the market, and Apple wanted only the best for their emergence into the world of retail.

Zahner produced dozens of Apple Stores with several architects. Highlighted below are some of the more prominent locations Zahner produced, including stores designed by Gensler and by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. The Apple Store in Los Angeles was one of the first projects featuring Zahner's own GB-60™ Bead-Blasted Stainless steel. These projects were installed using a Dry-Joint Wall Panel system, custom fabricated to extremely tight tolerances for the Apple Computer stores.
