Overview

Chassis Figma library is a comprehensive design system library for Figma that provides everything a product, design, and development team needs to create enterprise-scale, multi-brand, multi-platform applications.

Built on top of the Chassis Design System, it offers a complete set of design tokens, components, templates, and guidelines for creating consistent, accessible, and brand-adaptable user interfaces.

Key Features

  • Multi-Brand Support: One library for all brands with instant theme switching
  • Fully Tokenized: Design tokens map directly to production tokens for design-code parity
  • Single-File Components: Each component in its own file with built-in documentation
  • Complete Design Library: UI components, IA diagramming tools, design documentation, and templates
  • Component Assets: Swappable content layers for flexible customization without detaching

What Makes It Unique

Chassis Figma library combines powerful design tokens, reusable components, and intelligent theming to streamline design workflows.

Whether you're designing for a single brand or managing multiple brands across different platforms, Chassis Figma library provides the flexibility and consistency modern design teams need.

Multi-Brand Support

Chassis Figma library is designed from the ground up to support multiple brands and themes within a single library. With a fully tokenized system and universal theme switching, you can easily create designs for different brands without needing separate libraries or complex overrides.

  • Single Source of Truth: One library for all brands
  • Instant Theme Switching: Change themes across entire designs with variables
  • Brand-Specific Tokens: Customize colors, typography, and more for each brand
  • Consistent Components: Same components adapt to different brand styles

Fully Tokenized

Everything in Chassis Figma library is fully tokenized and synchronized with Chassis Tokens using Tokens Studio plugin, enabling:

  • Universal Theme Switching: Change brands/themes across entire designs instantly
  • Design-to-Code Consistency: Direct mapping between Figma variables and production tokens
  • Bidirectional Sync: Tokens flow from Git repository to Figma Variables via Tokens Studio
  • Future-Proof Designs: Non-breaking updates when token values change
  • Documentation Theming: Even IA diagrams and documentation can switch themes

Single-File Components

Each component exists as a separate Figma file, providing:

  • Framework Alignment: Similar structure to UI framework component organization
  • Built-in Documentation: Every component includes its own guideline pages
  • Test Pages: Special pages prevent accidental override losses during design iterations
  • Version Control: Easier team collaboration and change tracking

Complete Design Library

Chassis Figma library goes beyond standard UI component libraries by including:

  • UI Components: All standard interface elements (buttons, forms, cards, etc.)
  • IA Diagraming Tools: Information architecture and flowchart components
  • Design Documentation: Style guide and specification components
  • Templates: Pre-built page and section templates for rapid prototyping

Component Assets

Components use special "asset" components for their content layers (text, icon, image, etc.), allowing you to:

  • Modify Without Detaching: Change content and style while staying in sync with source
  • State Variations: Swap text assets with skeleton assets for loading states
  • Flexible Customization: adapt components without losing library connection

Chassis UI Ecosystem

Chassis Figma library is part of a comprehensive multi-repository design system with unified documentation:

Core Repositories

Documentation Architecture

All Chassis project documentation sites use @chassis-ui/docs shared package for consistency:

  • Unified Experience: Single cohesive website at chassis-ui.com
  • Shared Components: Common layouts, navigation, and UI components
  • Independent Deployment: Each project deploys separately to Vercel
  • Proxy Routing: Main site routes /docs/* paths to project-specific sites

Key Benefits

Chassis Figma library empowers design and development teams to build scalable, multi-brand applications with unprecedented speed and consistency. By combining tokenized design systems with intelligent component architecture, it bridges the gap between design intent and production implementation.

For Designers

  • Rapid Prototyping: Pre-built components and templates accelerate design work
  • Brand Flexibility: Switch between brand themes instantly with variables
  • Design Documentation: Create spec sheets and guidelines within your design files
  • Consistent Quality: Tokenized system ensures visual consistency across all work

For Product Teams

  • Multi-Brand Management: Manage multiple brands from a single design system
  • Scalability: Enterprise-ready structure supports large organizations
  • Cross-Platform: Design once, deploy to web, iOS, and Android
  • Living Documentation: IA diagrams and specs stay up-to-date with design changes

For Developers

  • Design-Code Parity: Figma variables map directly to production tokens
  • Component Library Sync: Figma structure mirrors code component organization
  • Automated Handoff: Token synchronization reduces manual specification work
  • Predictable Implementation: Consistent component props and behaviors
