Origami Vision

The Origami design system enables the discovery, design and build of every user-facing product the FT and its partners deliver.

Origami Project

Origami is the FT’s design system. This includes design guidelines, components, tools, and companion services. With the aim to help teams across the FT design & build digital products for FT brands efficiently and to a high standard.

Today, Origami is used to create ft.com, our apps, as well as internal tools, and increasingly other FT Group brands.

Origami “o3”

Origami “o3” delivers a reimagined Origami with a renewed focus on:

1. Design guidelines, to support designers to prototype new products or features consistently, building on tried and tested approaches.
2. Aligned designer and engineering tooling, for improved efficiency and alignment during handover from prototype to build.
3. Multi-brand support, to create a reusable capability across the FT Group and share our product learnings across brands.
