This document discusses the relationship between form and function in product design. It defines form as primarily focusing on aesthetics, while function prioritizes practicality. Examples are given of products emphasizing either form, like the Alessi Hot Bertha Kettle, or function, such as a tin opener. Learners are asked to analyze products and justify whether they were designed with form or function as the priority.
