Getting in
5A store has to let you in three ways — account, new account, or not at all — and the guest route is never the small grey link at the bottom. Region and currency are chosen here because they decide every price on every later screen.
Splash
The one moment the app is pure brand: the sunrise mark on a burnt-amber plane, white ink, no chrome.
Onboarding
Pane two of three, on what Aurora actually sells — the illustration is the plate system at full size.
Sign in
Email and password, with the guest route given the same weight as the account route.
Create account
A live password meter and the two consents a German storefront has to ask for separately.
Shop as guest
The region and currency sheet: Germany, EUR, prices shown including 19 % VAT.
The storefront
5Five destinations: Shop, Browse, Saved, Bag, Me. Shop is editorial — an eyebrow, a serif headline and one banner — because a catalogue that opens on a wall of products has already told you it has nothing to say.
Shop
The August storefront: the Flax Edit banner and the first four of 24 new arrivals, second row deliberately cut.
Shop — loading
First paint on a cold cache: plate-shaped skeletons hold the grid's geometry so nothing jumps when the data lands.
Browse
Six departments as drawn plates with live counts — 128 + 74 + 96 + 63 + 85 + 41 = 487 pieces.
Departments drawer
The drawer over Browse: departments with counts, then the account and seller-studio links.
Lighting
74 pieces sorted by newest, with the sub-type chips that sum to 74 and a sticky filter bar.
Finding things
4Search is one screen in three states — empty, matched, and matched-nothing. Sort and filter share a single sheet, because on a phone they are the same decision and two sheets is one sheet too many.
Search
The empty field: three recent queries, then what Berlin has been looking at this week.
Results
18 results for “linen”, with the department split shown as chips that add up to 18.
Sort & filter
One sheet, five sections: sort, price range, colour swatches, material, availability — and a live count on the button.
Nothing found
“bouclé sofa” matches nothing; rather than apologising, the screen offers the three nearest departments.
The product
6The detail page is the screen every other agent will copy, so it carries the most of base.css: plate hero, pager, price with a saving, star rating, material swatches, variant options, a delivery promise and a sticky action bar. No bottom nav — a detail screen never gets one.
Product
The Sonnet lounge chair at 449,00 € from 529,00 €: finish, seat, stock, delivery window and specs under one sticky action.
Gallery
All five drawn views full-bleed, with a thumbnail strip and the counter — the drawings are the photography.
Choose a variant
The sheet: finish × seat as a grid, with the two combinations that are out of stock struck through, not hidden.
Size guide
A drawn elevation with every dimension called out, plus the doorway clearance the chair actually needs.
Reviews
213 reviews behind a 4.7: the five bars sum to 213, and reviews can be filtered by star and by finish bought.
Write a review
Rating first, then title and body; the photo slots are drawn as empty tiles because there is no stock image to fake.
Bag and checkout
7Four items, 689,00 € before the voucher, 620,10 € after — and every screen in this flow shows a number that can be derived from the one before it. Checkout is three steps with a persistent progress rail, and each step keeps the running total in view.
Bag
Four items across three lines, each with its own stepper and chosen finish; delivery is already free at this subtotal.
Bag — empty
An empty bag that does a job: the last three pieces viewed, and the two departments this account keeps returning to.
Voucher
The voucher sheet with WELCOME10 accepted — 68,90 € comes off, and the summary behind it has already moved.
Checkout · Address
Step one: saved addresses as radio cards, with the switch that reveals a separate billing address.
Checkout · Delivery
Step two: three windows priced against the free-over-250 threshold, with the two-person option pre-selected for furniture.
Checkout · Payment
Step three: card, PayPal or invoice, with the 19 % VAT (99,01 €) split out of the 620,10 € total.
Order placed
Order AU-40921: the total, the delivery window and exactly one next action, on a brand plane.
After the sale
6Where a store keeps its promises. Tracking, returns and the wishlist all pivot on state — which is why the order list's four rows are four different states rather than four different dates.
Orders
Four orders across two months — in transit, delivered, delivered, returned — each row offering what its state allows.
Tracking
AU-40921 between Hamburg and Berlin: five stages, three done, the courier and the window named.
Start a return
Choosing what goes back: per-item checkboxes, a reason per item, and the refund the choices add up to.
Saved
Eight saved pieces, two of them flagged for a price drop; the snackbar undoes the last move to the bag.
Saved — selecting
Selection mode after a long press: three chosen, and the contextual bar takes the bottom nav's place.
Wallet
39,00 € of store credit from the June return, and the Aurora Circle tier with 260 points left to run.
You
7The account corner. Settings is deliberately more than one screen — a settings root that only lists labels tells you nothing, so every row here shows its current value and one sub-page is drawn in full.
Me
The account hub: orders, wallet and addresses first, everything administrative kept quiet below.
Notifications
Five notifications in three time buckets; the two unread ones carry the warm tint rather than a dot.
Addresses
Three addresses with one default, and the dialog that guards deleting the one an open order is shipping to.
Payment methods
Cards drawn as gradient plates — no card-scheme logos exist here, so the scheme is set in type instead.
Settings
The root: appearance, region, notifications, privacy — each row showing the value it is currently set to.
Settings · Notifications
Eleven switches in four groups, with a quiet-hours window that is off and says what turning it on would do.
Help & legal
Contact, the six most-asked questions, and the legal corner: imprint, terms, privacy, and the build number.
Edges
3The three screens a kit is judged on and usually skips — plus the other half of a marketplace, which is the person selling.
Offline
No connection: the bag survives, and the screen names the three things that still work without one.
Something broke
A 500 on the storefront, with the request id a support agent will ask for and a retry that is not the only option.
Seller studio
The other side of the marketplace: Halden Studio's week, its best piece, and the one line that is nearly out of stock.
How this folder is built
One signal, and a claret beside it
Burnt amber is the only thing in Aurora that asks to be pressed. The second brand voice is a deep olive for makers and provenance, and a price drop gets its own claret — never the danger red, because at 11.5px a saving and an error must not be the same colour. Amber sits at hue 21, claret at 338, danger at 6.
Every product is drawn
There are no photographs in this system, so the catalogue is illustrated: two CSS gradients make the ground, inline SVG makes the object, and six category palettes make it a catalogue instead of a set of doodles. Twelve objects cover Furniture, Lighting, Ceramics, Textiles, Kitchen and Plants; screens/_plates.html is the reference sheet.
Fraunces, set big
The display face is a serif with a live optical-size axis — one font file gives a 34px headline real contrast and a 10.5px tracked eyebrow real weight. Prices are Fraunces too, in tabular figures, German locale: 1.298,00 €.
Dark inverts the button
In light, amber is the dark thing and carries white. In dark the hue lifts to #F2A25F, where white would sit at 2.08:1 — so the primary button's ink flips to espresso at 8.19:1. Elevation flips too: four surface steps instead of shadows.
