In the world of design and creation, the principle "Form Follows Function" is an important leitmotif that embodies the essence of timeless design. Coined by the American architect Louis Henry Sullivan (1856–1924) at the beginning of the 20th century, this principle has inspired and guided generations of product designers. But behind this seemingly simple maxim lies a complex balance between functionality and aesthetics, which forms the basis for some of the most iconic products of our time.
“Form Follows Function” means that when designing products, the functional and best possible form inevitably results from their application function. The obvious conclusion would be that, based on this principle, products are created that are very reduced to their purpose - in other words, extremely functional ones. To date, many generations of product designers have added aesthetic and additional elements to many products. This means that we, as users, are provided with perfect functionality and yet the products remain aesthetically beautiful, simple and representative.
Apple products, for example, are designed according to this design credo and function this way for us as users and customers. Every detail is chosen with care. From the high-quality materials to the well-thought-out construction - everything serves a purpose. And there are also accessories manufacturers who deliver products based on the same design and quality principles. Brands like Epico underline the product design and also complement the function and product design for all users and customers.
For end users, this philosophy means that their devices not only look good, but are also seamlessly integrated into their everyday lives. A stylish, transparent iPad case from Epico not only protects the Apple iPad, but also adds a touch of elegance in the office and on the go. For companies, this means that they not only appear professional with well-thought-out accessories from 4smarts and fashionable audio glasses from Fauna, but also work efficiently. The clever design of these products makes them easier to use and ultimately increases productivity.
Ultimately, the benefits of products designed according to this principle are undeniable: they not only provide aesthetic pleasure, but also improve the way we work, learn and live.
