What does ultrapractical mean to you? To me, designing ultrapractically means embracing a future-focused approach which blends adaptability, innovation and engagement with the past. Collaboration plays a key role in this process, allowing us to place people at the centre of the narrative and prioritise functionality, whilst recognising our environmental and social responsibility, ensuring that the resulting spaces are both joyful and rooted in practicality.
