What is SearchSystem?

SearchSystem is a curated collection of design references and tools with an archive, an index, a random-pick feature for serendipitous browsing and an integrated shop. It is curated by Julien Van Havere, the founder of DesignPractice and TypeFoundry.

Pros: what SearchSystem does well

  • Free archive and index to browse
  • Random pick surfaces unexpected references
  • Curated by an experienced designer

Cons: where it falls short

  • The shop sells paid items
  • Niche, design-led curation
