Glass fruit on a black floor
_01

Black floor, glass fruit, one lemon thing

The picture the look is made of, and six crops of it. Every colour on the page comes out of here: the black of the floor, the grey of the glass, the lemon of the physalis. The red stays in the picture.

The physalis, the one lemon thing
The plum, pink glass, lit from the left
A blackberry, every drupelet catching light
The stem, and the drop it holds
The floor giving the red back
Cherries, close, cut by the frame
_02

Wide slab caps, and a plain face to read

Display is uppercase, tight and heavy, for headlines, the mark, prices and big numbers. Never a paragraph. Arvo stands in until the look's own slab lands; Schibsted Grotesk reads.

Blown glass, and the void

Raised is a lozenge of dark glass with one crescent of light on its top and its thickness showing at the rim. Recessed is the void it was lifted out of. There is no third, and state is depth rather than colour. The key is the same glass blown in the physalis's colour.

Twelve things, kept under glass

One object each, drawn in a single hairline inside a hairline circle, the way a specimen is kept. currentColor throughout; the one in the lemon is the one hit on that screen.

The ripen

Presets, plus the one move only this look has: a thing arrives matte and dim and takes its gloss a beat later.

.bl-hover-lift
.bl-ripen — one light passes over the glass

.bl-reveal, .bl-stagger, .bl-words, .bl-rise and .bl-late all run on scroll and are the ripen too: matte first, then the gloss. They are shown working in the demo rather than frozen here.

_06

Components, every state drawn

Statically, with a helper class, styled identically to the real pseudo-class.

buttons

Buttons. Jelly: a domed lozenge of glass, always a pill. Pressed and current are the void - state is depth, never colour. Two variants only: the plain one and the lemon key, and the key appears once per screen. Every state below is drawn with a helper class so it can be inspected without a pointer.

inputs

Inputs. Fields are wells: a field is somewhere you put something into, so it is cut into the floor, never raised. The label sits above, never inside. The invalid state is the one place on a page a semantic colour is allowed.

That address is missing its ending.

Hints sit under the field, quiet.

cards

Cards. A piece of blown glass with the crescent of light on it. Selected is the void and loses the crescent, because a thing pressed into the floor catches no light.

Default

A raised card sitting on the floor, lit from the top left like everything else.

Hover

It lifts three pixels, its shadow lengthens and the glass brightens a stop. Nothing changes colour.

Selected

Pressed into the floor. This is how the chosen plan, the current row and the open panel all read.

badges

Badges. Small wells with type in them. The semantic colours live here and in field errors and toasts, and nowhere else - they are not decoration.

One of fifty Edition 07 Shipped Two left Archived

tabs

Tabs. The strip is a bar of glass; the selected tab is a well inside it. Never an underline, never a coloured tab.

accordion

Accordion. Boxed. The open item is a well, the closed ones are glass. The mark is a plus and a minus, never a chevron, never an arrow. The faq section is built from these same classes.

Open −

The open panel is recessed, so the thing you are reading is the thing pressed into the page. Only one needs to be open at a time.

Closed +

Hidden until opened.

Closed, hover +

Hidden until opened.

modal

Modal. A panel of glass over a scrim that darkens the floor behind it. Use bl-modal--static to render it inline, as the kit sheet does; drop the modifier and it fixes to the viewport. The confirm is the accent and it is the only accent on the screen while the modal is open.

Edition 07 of 50

Take this one

Once fifty are gone the look is archived and never sold again. Yours keeps working.

toast

Toast. A glass pill with one dot. Use bl-toast--static to render it inline; drop the modifier and it fixes to the bottom right. The dot carries the semantic colour so the text never has to.

Saved. Nothing else changed.

Edition 07 is yours. The folder is in your email.

That card was declined. Nothing was charged.

Two left at this price.

table

Table. Rules between rows, never boxes around cells. Numbers are set in the display face; everything else is the body face. The selected row is a well.

nav-links

Nav links. Quiet until they are the current one, and then they are a well. Never an underline, never the accent.

Eleven sections, two variants each. This is the real markup from sections/, not a drawing of it.

What is in the folder

Eleven sections, ten components, one law

One lemon thing

The physalis is the only bright colour in the picture, so it is the only bright colour on the page. One word or one key a screen, never both.

Blown glass

A raised thing is a lozenge of dark glass with one crescent of light on it and its thickness showing at the rim. A well is the void it came out of. No third.

Four colours

The floor, the glass, the text and the lemon. Nothing else is allowed in, and the red stays in the picture where it belongs.

The ripen

Things arrive matte and dim and take their gloss a beat later. It is the one move this look has, and every reveal is built on it.

Wide slab caps

Headlines are set in a wide slab, uppercase, tight. A plain grotesque does the reading. The display face never touches a paragraph.

A CLAUDE.md

Nine sections that tell your Claude what it may do, and stop it cold when you ask for something the look does not have.

The rules, short

What this look refuses

One lemon thing

_01

The accent is the physalis, and there is one in the picture. Put two on a screen and it is a fruit bowl, not a still life.

_02

No third material

_03

Selected is depth, not colour

_04

The red stays in the picture. It never touches the interface.

faq · variant A

Before you buy

The questions we get

What is actually in the folder −

A theme, a motion file, eleven sections in two variants, ten components with every state drawn, twelve icons, the picture and every crop of it, the tile, the film, and a CLAUDE.md that tells your Claude what it may and may not do.

Can I use my own pictures +

Yes, and you should. The rule is only that a picture sits in the glass like the fruit does: on black, lit from one side, and never with a second bright colour in it.

What happens after fifty +

It is archived and never sold again. Yours keeps working; nobody else can buy it.

Do I need Claude Code +

No. It is plain CSS and plain markup. Claude Code is simply the fastest way to put it on something.

faq · variant B

Where is the display face −

Owed. Arvo stands in from Google Fonts until the look's own slab lands, and the folder updates in place when it does.

Can I change the colours +

Change the four tokens and the whole look moves with you. Add a fifth and you are no longer wearing it.
