A modern soft-tech system. Sherbet pastel palette, mesh gradients, restrained glassmorphism, blob motion. Reads as warm 2026 futurism, not Y2K nostalgia. Closest references: Crème Atelier, Linear, Arc Browser, Magic Spoon at its softest.
2026 successor to Y2K. Soft, not cold. The product is the future but it's friendly. Pastels with chrome accents, not full chrome.
Soft-tech tone. Confident but quiet. Reads like a friendly product manual from a brand that doesn't need to shout.
Every page composition centres the physical product, then surrounds it with breathing room and atmospheric colour.
Three core pastel accents (peach, mint, lilac) plus a deep ink and warm cream paper. The signature move is the mesh gradient backdrop — combining all three pastels in radial blends. Used on hero and any "product surface" moment. Solid pastels for tonal cards and tags.
Instrument Serif (italic especially) carries every emotional headline moment. Geist (Vercel's typeface) handles every body, UI, and interaction layer with calm modern presence. Geist Mono on metadata, prices, technical detail.
4-based spacing scale. The system's signature is the radius scale — corners get very soft. Large cards use 24px radius; hero surfaces use 36px. Pill radius (999px) is the default button.
Three card families: glass (translucent, used over mesh backgrounds), tonal (solid pastel fills), and ink-on-cream (default reading). Buttons live in the same three modes.
PRIMARY · SOFT · TONAL
Pill radius. Spring easing on press (0.96 scale). Primary uses subtle gradient + inset highlight. Soft is glassmorphism. Tonal lives in peach by default.
OUTLINE · PEACH · MINT · LILAC
Outline is the default. Tonal fills used for state — new, limited, bestseller — never decoration.
GLASS INPUT · PEACH FOCUS
Glass inputs over mesh backgrounds. Border shifts to peach on focus. No outline. Soft radius (24px).
USED OVER MESH BACKDROPS
Translucent glass cards sit on top of mesh gradients. They float. Cream cards never overlap mesh — they live in their own band.
Square 1:1 product imagery, gradient backdrops, the object rendered as a soft blob form. Geist for the name, mono for the price. Spring lift on hover.
Mesh gradient as backdrop, the object lives in its own glass card. Specs live in mono. Buy button is primary ink. Below the fold, the page continues into mint and lilac tonal sections for "how it's made" and "specs."
A modular sculptural USB-C lamp printed in plant-based PLA. Swap the shell, keep the base. Three colourways at launch.
Two easings: a soft cubic for transitions, a gentle spring for press/release. Blob shapes and mesh backgrounds drift slowly on a 14-second loop — present but never demanding. Cursor follow on hero product objects only.
→ Blob morph 8s infinite
→ Mesh drift 14-18s infinite
→ Press scale 0.96, release spring
→ Card lift 4px, never tilt
Confident without volume. Object descriptions read like product manuals from a friendly company. No slang. No exclamation marks. The serif italic does the warming.
Sculptural lamps printed on demand from plant-based PLA. We design them. A small machine in Melbourne prints them. They take a day.
USB-C, 5 watts, 360 lumens. Use any phone charger you already own. The LED puck pops out — replace it without replacing the lamp.
The closest match. Crème Atelier, Wooj and current 3D-printed lamp brand DNA. Object-as-blob photography matches the system natively.
Warmth scales to gifting nicely. Personalisation UI plays well with glass cards. Risk: generic if photography isn't strong enough.
Softness contradicts the utility category. Caravan accessory buyers want functional UI, not friendly futurism. Pick C if Caravan wins.
