Look I am very keen on seeing Apple concepts, wether it was for iPhone 6 or an OS X concept. Today we’ve got a new Mac OS X Syrah concept designed by Danny Giebe which brings a flat nice look to Apple’s desktop operating system. It was inspired by the new clean design introduced in the Contacts and Notes apps of OS X Mavericks.
The new Finder represents the new clean design of OS X Syrah. The colors are based on the flat design of Contacts and Notes in Mavericks. The title bars are translucent and support a more clean and iOS’ish design. All icons are following the new flat design approach.
New iOS 7 based design for the notification center.
As you can see, it’s very clean, and utilizes the same frosted effect that can right the way through iOS 7. Giebe, like Apple, has also paid quite a bit of attention to detail, including subtle, circular icons with the Mail app, and even though the concept does exude many of iOS 7′s traits, it also retains the identity of OS X, keeping a good balance.
Here’s some info about the concept:
