Each piece is part of a greater whole and should contribute positively to the system at scale. There should be no isolated features or outliers.
Airbnb is used around the world by a wide global community. Our products and visual language should be welcoming and accessible.
We’re focused when it comes to both design and functionality. Our work should speak boldly and clearly to this focus.
Our use of motion breathes life into our products, and allows us to communicate with users in easily understood ways.
