The concept of the design relays on representing the technology devotion that fans are having towards Apple, which can be compared to catholic religions. Therefore, the brand would be treated as a God, having an altar for adoration and areas to admire their products. Within the design, the term contrast would be present permanently to differentiate the classical style and multicolor space of the church with the Apple neutral and modern brand identity. Following the brand principle of simplicity, the style of the exhibition is a minimal design, achieved by the use of materials, geometrical shapes, lighting focal spots, and monochromatic color palette.

Terra is a project in the city of Turin that is born of the
idea of creating a space that is transformed throughout the day in order to provide a double use. This is a place that during the moments of sunshine is an organic food store in the open air and in the evening becomes a casual, friendly and relaxed space for a moment of aperitif with friends
