What is Silk?

Silk is a free design system created by Netguru for teams who don’t want to spend months reinventing buttons, spacing, and tokens—yet still need something they can fully adapt to their brand.

After years of delivering commerce products, we kept running into the same challenge: too much time was spent setting up UI foundations before teams could focus on solving real product problems.

That’s why we created Silk—to help teams assemble consistent interfaces faster using ready-made components and patterns, and move through iterations with confidence.

Built for mobile and responsive web, Silk supports modern product teams with accessibility-first foundations, flexibility, and ease of use.

Why Silk?

Stop wasting months on UI basics. Silk is a lightweight, variable-based system designed to help you ship commerce interfaces immediately—deeper than a UI kit, but without the enterprise bloat.

  • Commerce-Ready: Optimized patterns for search, lists, and checkout.
  • Mobile-First: Tailored for responsive web with a native-platform feel.
  • Accessibility: Built to support WCAG 2.2 AA standards by default.

Designed for simplicity and depth

Silk helps make high-quality design repeatable by giving teams a unified system that captures best practices and shared expertise—without adding unnecessary complexity.

Guidelines, not rules

At its core, Silk allows users to make their own choices—detach, nest, and modify components. At the same time, it provides them with knowledge that helps them to make the best decisions.

Best practices by default

Silk includes components and patterns that are accessible and that offer good usability. No compromises.

Consistency over complexity

Silk’s components and patterns are consistent with each other—we prioritized internal consistency over an extensive list of possible options.

Components

Consistency, accessibility, and freedom—these are the underlying principles at the code of Silk components. For easier navigation, we grouped them in 4 categories.

Fast & Scalable Customization

Silk is built to adapt to your brand identity using a variable-based architecture that allows you to reskin the entire system in minutes.

  • Automated color swaps: Adjust global palettes and functional tokens for text, surfaces, and strokes update automatically across the system.
  • Global typography: Replace default fonts across the system without disrupting layout structure or component behavior.
  • Shape control: Instantly toggle between sharp or rounded edges using shared radius variables.
  • Total integrity: Maintain full control over your visual language without breaking the underlying system foundations.
