DLS-LEAD

One design system for designers and developers

Designed for SaaS teams building dashboards, admin panels, and complex application UI. Production-grade.

★ 100+ components
★ 4-layer tokens
★ Figma + React + Storybook
★ DTCG-compliant

⛤ Figma UI Kit

100+ components with auto-layout, variants, and component properties. Each with all interactive states.

⛤ React components in Storybook ↗

Browse interactive stories in Storybook, test props and states live, grab code from GitHub.

⛤ Light and dark themes

Toggle between light and dark and every component adapts automatically through token references.

⛤ 4-layer token architecture

DTCG-compliant tokens organized in four cascading layers. All exportable.

⛤ Full documentation ↗

Token references across all layers, component API docs, usage guidelines, architectural explanations.

⛤ Layout system + Page shells

Sidebar, Top Bar, and page-level layout primitives. Dashboards, settings pages, auth flows – built-in.

The market offers two imperfect options:
UI Kits or Enterprise libraries

❌ UI Kits are fast to start, but hard to scale.

❌ Enterprise UI component libraries are powerful, but heavy.

So why do product teams choose DLS-Lead?

DLS-Lead is a system infrastructure. Not a UI kit and not a heavy framework. It provides a structured token architecture that enables safer theming, predictable overrides, scalable UI, and AI-readable token structures.

• Primitives
• Semantics
• State
• Component tokens
• Figma + React + Storybook

A design system your whole team can use

From raw values to components, every layer of the system is documented and ready to use in both Figma and React

100+ components in every state. All tokenized

Each component is built in Figma with variants and auto-layout, coded in React, documented with usage guidelines, and wired to the token system from primitives through to component-level tokens.

CORE UI

button | button group | input | fields | checkbox | radiobutton | switcher |slider | chips | badge| kbd.

FEEDBACK AND OVERLAY

alert | alert dialog | dialog | tooltips | spinner | skeleton | empty | progress bar

NAVIGATION

accordion | tabs | breadcrumbs | pagination | context menu | scroll | separator

DATA AND CONTENT

table | list | item | chart | calendar| carousel | avatar| comment

LAYOUT

sidebar | top bar | forms

UTILITY

assets | parts | resizable

4-layer cascading architecture

Each layer references the one below it. Change a primitive, and it flows through semantics, state, and component layers automatically.

Layer 1:

Primitives

Change your brand foundation instantly

Raw values like colors, spacing, and typography scales live here. Update a primitive once and every semantic style and component updates automatically.

Layer 2:

Semantics

Safer theming without breaking components

Meaning-based tokens like background.surface or text.primary reference primitives. If you switch themes by remapping this layer, components won't change.

Layer 3:

State

Consistent interaction across the whole product

Hover, active, disabled, and focus states are defined centrally. Every component inherits the same interaction logic automatically.

Layer 4:

Component

Predictable overrides and scalable components

Component-level tokens define things like button padding, border radius, or background.Adjust components safely without affecting the rest of the system.

RESULT
A design system that scales safely

How DLS-Lead compares to alternatives

Unlike UI kits built for prototypes and marketing sites, and enterprise UI libraries designed for massive applications, DLS-Lead is built specifically for SaaS dashboards and product interfaces
