Ecosystem

A design system is the ultimate LEGO set that empowers you to build any digital product with precision and creativity. It's a system of coherent and consistent guidelines and standards that drive the development of digital products with an excellent user experience.

Zurich Design System (aka. ZDS) is a collaborative project to create the bases for digital user interfaces (UIs), that eases and standardizes the design and development of those. Zurich Design System's vision is empowering a seamless digital experience by establishing a set of standards, guidelines and component libraries for desktop and mobile digital products that manage design at scale, increase productivity and create a shared visual language and consistency across all different digital channels.

Combining the value of Figma's real-time design capabilities, the comprehensive, easily accessible and user-friendly UI offered by ZeroHeight and the ability to explore and visualize your components with Vitepress, offers an effortless transition from design to documentation to development. All while ensuring a smooth and cohesive flow across ZDS, and this is why we have chosen this set of technologies to provide the best experience to you.
