There needs to be a special name for things that are as practical as they are beautiful. The reason I think we don’t have such a word is, we consider the two to be oppositional in a way. The more practical, the less beautiful, and vice versa. But consider for a moment something you believe has both qualities in high amounts. Which direction did this thing come from? Probably the practical. We tend to beautify our implementations. Nature however tends to take advantage through beauty, making it practical. I guess, order is beauty, painted upon disorder. Maybe practicality itself is beauty. Maybe that’s why there’s no name for it. They’re one and the same.
