The interior of the Aesop Store references the aesthetics inherent in the prefabricated designs of communist East Germany. Contemporary elements reflective of Leipzig’s post-reunification development provide pleasing contrasts to this 'ostalgie'. Within the rough concrete façade, the interior features green- and grey-hued walls lined with shelving composed of powder-coated metal and translucent glass tiles, reflective of industrial uniformity. In striking variation, the point-of-sale counter is crafted from oiled plywood with rounded edges; centrally positioned, it anchors the space and offers an ideal vantage.
