"We're continuing to challenge the system"

Kimberley Harrington, sr. manager, automotive advanced design sales for Ultrafabrics caught up with us at Car Design Dialogues Milan to discuss how they draw inspiration from cross-industry design, fuelling the next generation of material innovation.

The company is rethinking raw material inputs - from food waste in Japan to aquatic resources like scallop shell powder and chitosan - while challenging traditional polyurethane systems and reducing reliance on petrochemicals.

The result: more sustainable materials without compromising premium quality or performance.
