Apple fans are in for a brick-tastic treat as a new Apple Store takes root—in LEGO form. Created by LEGO enthusiasts Legotruman and 2A2A, this imaginative build seeks to miniaturize the iconically sleek retail spaces to about the size of a MacBook.
The project was shared on LEGO’s Ideas platform, and will need 10,000 votes for the toymaker to build it into a reality.
The LEGO Apple Store isn’t modeled after a specific location but rather embodies Apple’s signature design. Tall, transparent “glass” walls, for example, adorn the front and sides, reminiscent of many of its retail locations. Dominating the façade, a large white Apple logo ensures that unmistakable brand recognition.

Inside, the set pays homage to the tech giant’s minimalist design ethos. Long wooden tables display the latest iPhones, iMacs, and MacBooks, while shelves lined with white packaging and headphones echo the floral arrangements seen in actual stores. Adding a touch of greenery, indoor Ficus trees in white pots with nougat rims are scattered around, alongside a set of stairs leading to the second floor.

The upper level features a display table for colorful Apple Watches, more staff helpers, and a striking color gradient screen backdrop, mirroring the visual elements of real Apple Stores.
A hidden tribute honors Apple’s famed devices, including the iMac G3, iPod mini, AirPods, Apple Watch, and the Apple Vision Pro, symbolizing the brand’s journey through the years.
Measuring 16.1 inches in length, 10.1 inches in width, and 6.2 inches in height, the model consists of 1,539 parts. This detailed creation celebrates the past, present, and future of Apple’s design philosophy in a compact, playful form.
Legotruman’s previous success, a replica of Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night, also garnered attention and was eventually produced by LEGO. This latest build proves they’re not afraid to Think Different.
