When to use

"Use when the goal is a unified experience where the user does not perceive the seams between components. The boundaries between subsystems dissolve; the user interacts with a coherent whole."

Example

"An iPhone is a holistic integration of hardware, software, services, and ecosystem. The user does not perceive the boundaries between the OS, the apps, the cloud services, and the hardware. The seams are invisible by design."

Common misuse

"Pursuing seamlessness when seams are valuable. In complex systems, visible seams (auditability, inspectability, modifiability) are features, not flaws. A seamless system that cannot be inspected is opaque."
