Forma Components — React Design System

The Problem

Design teams and developers frequently struggle to bridge the gap between premium, high-end visual design and robust digital accessibility. Off-the-shelf component libraries either impose heavy, opinionated styles that are painful to customize, or they completely sacrifice keyboard navigation and ARIA compliance. This friction forces teams to repeatedly build complex focus management, screen-reader interactions, and theme engines from scratch, resulting in fragmented design systems, bloated codebases, and slower shipping times.

The Solution

We built @forma-studio/components, a dark-first, highly customizable React design system. By pairing Base UI’s unstyled, WCAG 2.1-compliant primitives with the light-speed compilation of Tailwind CSS v4, we created a suite of 38 accessible component primitives. The system exposes customizable CSS variables and fluid tokens directly to developers, allowing teams to deliver pixel-perfect visual consistency and flawless keyboard interactions without sacrificing developer velocity.

Outcome

38 accessible, dark-first primitives accelerating frontend development.
