Edenfinder, the product we commissioned from ourselves
Named here, designed here, built here, marketed here, and operated here every day since, with no client to hide behind. This page is the design record: the system as it was decided, and then every surface that had to obey it. Three of those surfaces are running below and can be used.
The commission
An identity with nobody to hand it to
Edenfinder was named, drawn and specified here, then built here by the same people, which removed the usual place where a design system quietly dies: the handover. What follows is the record. The system as it was settled, and then each surface that had to carry it.
- Commissioned by
- DOME Digital Solutions Ltd. Co. — our own venture, on our own account.
- Scope
- Naming, identity, design system, product design, editorial, and transactional correspondence.
- Surfaces
- Web, iOS, Android, and the operations desk.
- Languages
- English, Italian, Spanish, German.
- Typefaces
- Fraunces for display, Hanken Grotesk for interface and body.
- Live at
- www.edenfinder.com — a rate-comparison and booking platform, operated as a technical intermediary.
DS 01 · Identity
A name set in two voices, twenty-two values, and two typefaces
Edenfinder is set once and never again: eden in the Fraunces italic, finder in the roman, and a struck disc closing the line. Under it sits a palette of twenty-two values, each with a stated job rather than a shade card, and a second set for the dark theme that was drawn rather than flipped. The sheet below is that system, quoted from the files that enforce it.
DS 01
IDENTITY
The only Fraunces on this sheet is the logotype, set from its own outlines. Everything else is stated in DOME’s type: the site does not load a client’s typeface in order to describe it.
Edenfinder has no monospace face. Numeric columns align on Hanken Grotesk’s tabular figures, not on a mono — the mono slot in the token file is aliased to the grotesque.
Twenty-two values, and a second twenty-two for the dark theme that were drawn rather than flipped: the ink inverts to sand, the sand becomes a night green, the brass lifts a step so it still carries, and the call-to-action green is left deliberately deep. One value is identical in both columns — #143528, the ground the application tile is cut from.
DS 02 · The mark, applied
A second mark, for the things a wordmark cannot do
A wordmark cannot survive at the size of a fingernail, so the loyalty programme carries a rose instead: a four-point star on a ticked bezel, with north marked by a heart. It is the mark the application tile is cut from. The register beside it is the shipping program — every layer, at the size and on the ground each platform declares.
Instrument 01 · The website

DS 03 · The site, in elevation
The whole page at once, which no screenshot can show
Under that search sits the rest of the home page: eight bands in a fixed order, each a fixed arrangement of the same three components. Drawn as an orthographic elevation with its dimensions, because the argument is the order and the proportion, not the picture. The page it measures is running at www.edenfinder.com.
Instrument 02 · iOS & Android
- iOS & AndroidOne codebase, released and operated to store cadence.
- Over-the-air updatesFixes ship without waiting on a review queue.
- A drawn dark themeA second palette for night, authored rather than inverted.
DS 04 · Five tabs, one bundle
The application, drawn as its five tabs
Search, Vibes, Wishlist, Trips, Profile. Five screens at once is the only way to show that an application is a system rather than a screen — including the one place the system deliberately breaks its own rule, where the video feed takes the tab bar to black.

DS 05 · Correspondence
Five letters a guest may receive, drawn like the rest
Confirmation, pre-arrival, post-stay, cancellation, and the one nobody enjoys drawing — the letter sent when a booking goes wrong. The last surface of an identity is usually the one made in a hurry by whoever was free. Here it was specified on the same day as the first.

The letters do not carry the product’s palette, and saying so is the point. An email client supports almost none of what a browser does, so they are built on a smaller, safer set — #faf7f0 paper, #1c1917 ink, #0f766e for a confirmed state — and the terminal disc is set at #b45309, the one value the mark carries only here.
Nuitee Travel Limited is the merchant of record. Where a price appears, the party that settles it is named.
Instrument 03 · The desk
- Cancellations & modificationsHandled to the partner’s policy, logged either way.
- Discrepancy telemetryShared with counterparties on request.
Illustrative schematic — not a live rate, and no figure shown here is an offer. Where DOME operates in travel it does so as a technical intermediary; settlement and fulfilment rest entirely with our merchant-of-record partners.
The five rules that keep it from drifting
A design system is only the part of the work that can be written down. What keeps it intact two years later is a short list nobody may quietly waive, enforced in the codebase rather than in a document. These are Edenfinder’s, in full, and they hand straight into the operating standards below.
Every price on screen is bookable
A figure that cannot transact at the instant it is shown is not shown, on any surface, search cards included. It is the product’s first rule and the reason every rate on this page reads € ———.
Rates are held and charged in euro
Any other currency on screen is a display conversion and says so. The amount charged is the euro amount.
The logotype is set once
Two voices, three fills, one disc. It is never redrawn, re-spaced, re-weighted or tinted outside those fills, and the disc does not move.
Accented characters survive the pipeline
In all four languages, from source through generation to the rendered page. A stripped diacritic is a wrong word, not a cosmetic loss.
Edenfinder is a technical intermediary
Never an agency, never a seller. Where a price appears, the party that settles it is named.
Six counterparties in production. Room on the rail for more.
What we build runs in production, on other companies’ infrastructure as well as our own. Google Cloud carries data, geodata and imagery across every platform we operate. The rest power hotel supply, flights, distribution and market data on the travel rail, and the topology is built to take more.

Request the documentation packWe are extending our supply topology under staged certification, with priority on hotel supply APIs where the supplier or aggregator remains merchant of record. Our primary model: you act as merchant of record; we operate the technical platform, earning a margin or commission.
We are an early-stage platform and will not promise figures we cannot yet demonstrate. What we commit to is engineering discipline.
A specification you may hold us to
The standards we operate under and the entity you would be contracting with — stated up front, in the version you can quote back to us.
Price accuracy
Every displayed price passes deterministic revalidation at the prebook gate. A quote that has left its freshness window never reaches checkout.
Transparent attribution
Supplier and fulfilment terms are disclosed in the booking conditions, in line with consumer protection law. Rate provenance is documented end to end.
Fraud prevention
Card verification and risk screening on every transaction, conducted with our merchant-of-record partners from the first booking onward.
Compliant data handling
GDPR-aligned processing for European travellers. Card payments are handled exclusively by PCI DSS certified providers.
Responsive operations
A named point of contact, documented escalation paths, discrepancy telemetry shared on request, and invoices settled on time.

Questions we are asked first
What kind of work do you take on?
Digital products, in any sector: a company or product to name, a brand and interface system, a web platform, native iOS and Android applications, the acquisition that fills them, and the operations that keep them running afterwards. Travel is where our own products happen to be. It is not a condition of working with us.
Did you design it as well as build it?
Yes, and in that order. The name, the identity, the design system and the interface were settled here before the first line of production code, and the same team shipped them to web, to both app stores and into the transactional email. The sheets above are that work; nothing on them was reconstructed for this page.
Can we retain a single practice?
Yes. Strategy and design alone, an application alone, growth alone, rate comparison alone, operations alone. Most engagements begin with one and widen once the first thing has shipped.
Are you accepting new supplier integrations?
Yes. We are extending our supply topology under staged certification, with priority on hotel supply APIs where the supplier or aggregator remains merchant of record. The sequence is deliberate: documentation review, sandbox certification against your test environment, and a monitored go-live with confirmation-rate thresholds.
What booking volumes can you commit to?
We are an early-stage platform and will not promise figures we cannot yet demonstrate. What we commit to is engineering discipline: a certified integration, continuous price-accuracy telemetry, and clean handling of cancellations and modifications. That is the substrate volume grows from.
Which contract models do you work with?
Our primary model is API supply in which the supplier or aggregator acts as merchant of record while we operate the technical platform, earning a margin or commission. We also work with commissionable and affiliate retail programs where they complement our comparison layer, and we respect closed-user-group requirements where applicable.
Where can we find your company documentation?
Registration details are published on our Company page. Certificate of organization, IRS W-9, beneficial ownership details, and banking references are provided during onboarding — write to us for a complete documentation pack.
Terminus
Two conversations end here
If you are commissioning a digital product, we will arrive at the first call having read your documentation. If you distribute inventory through an API or an extranet, we are extending our supply topology under staged certification.
