CODE, CRAFT, AND THE MAKING OF NESTED FOLDERS

Figma's nested folders are a long-requested feature that helps growing teams stay organized. Creating the feature required rebuilding the company's content and permissions system from scratch. The team abandoned traditional product development in favor of leading with code, blurring roles across engineering, design, and product, and replacing handoffs with ongoing collaboration and shared craft. Customer feedback from early-access programs and community outreach shaped the rollout, which is expected to reach all users within a few weeks.

APPLE MOVES FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION IN OPENAI TRADE SECRETS LAWSUIT

Apple has asked the court for a preliminary injunction in its trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI, arguing that it is being irreparably harmed as OpenAI continues to use allegedly stolen confidential information in its hardware development. While OpenAI agreed to stop using Apple's confidential information, preserve evidence, and halt disclosures, it refused Apple's requests for forensic inspections and comprehensive searches of its systems. Apple is also seeking expedited discovery, as OpenAI continues to publicly reject the allegations and criticize the lawsuit.

IDEAS ARE CHEAP. INVENTION IS NOT

Since AI can generate endless ideas, the real bottleneck shifts to selecting, validating, and applying judgment to those ideas, rather than producing them. A structured invention pipeline—discovering opportunities, generating concepts through methods like SIT, TRIZ, and cross-domain collision, then stress-testing, scoring, and validating—turns raw ideation into genuinely usable, defensible proposals. Invention is fundamentally about killing weak ideas and distilling survivors into a clear, actionable brief.

DESIGNING FOR THE PROXY

AI has become the first audience for much of our work, interpreting and summarizing content before people see it, which makes machine-readable structure increasingly important. However, the goal should be to optimize for AI without designing for it, as the real value of design still lies in the invisible decisions—systems, accessibility, information architecture, and judgment—that AI-generated interfaces can't replicate. The challenge is to create experiences that are easy for machines to understand while remaining focused on the humans they're ultimately meant to serve.

NO, VERMONT'S NEW LOGO DESIGN ISN'T COMIC SANS

Vermont Tourism has unveiled its first dedicated brand identity, created by DNCO, with a custom wordmark inspired by the state's hand-painted signs, landscapes and cultural heritage. Rather than relying on generic travel imagery, the branding highlights Vermont as a "State of Inspiration," using a flexible design system to showcase its artistic community, natural beauty and local traditions. While some critics compared the logo to Comic Sans, the design's details intentionally reference Vermont's hills, roads, moonlit landscapes and folklore, making it part of a broader identity rather than a standalone logo.

DESIGNING SYSTEMS THAT DECIDE

Runtime-assembled AI interfaces require a fundamental shift in design thinking, not just new tactics. Rather than shipping fixed screens, designers must move toward outcome-oriented thinking—defining goals, constraints, and rules for generation, much like an improv director shaping a scene instead of scripting every line. This essay outlines ten outdated design instincts to unlearn, replacing assumptions like "same input, same output" with approaches suited to radically adaptive, agent-driven interfaces.

ADORATORIO STUDIO TAKES A NEW LENS ON EYEWEAR WITH A SOFT BUT TECHNICAL REBRAND FOR INDICE

Adoratorio Studio rebranded luxury eyewear retailer Indice for its 10th anniversary by repositioning it as "The Eyewear Lounge"—a welcoming, culture-driven destination rather than a traditional optical store. Inspired by the shop's interiors, the new identity features a flowing logo based on the curves of a De Sede sofa (which also resembles an eyelash), a muted color palette drawn from the space itself, and a mix of expressive typography and soft film-style photography. The result is a brand system that reflects the store's atmosphere of craftsmanship, intimacy, and slow, considered shopping, making the visual identity feel like a natural extension of the physical experience.
