Multiple Platforms in a Single Design System

Utilize the power of Figma’s “Variable Modes” to deliver multiple design systems from a single source. This approach shows how a single component can flex across multiple design systems. By assigning the container to a specific design system, the same component automatically inherits the correct styling, whether it’s light, dark, high-contrast, or product-specific.

The result is simple, elegant, and powerful:

• Consistency: One source of truth for design patterns across platforms.

• Performance: Faster handoff and implementation with fewer redundant assets.

• Maintainability: Update once, and the change cascades everywhere.

This system streamlines collaboration between design and engineering while ensuring scalable, accessible, and future-proof interfaces.
