Form follows function, form meets function, form & function. It’s all about efficiency, simplicity & aesthetics.
Lamps that double as sculpture, sculpture that you can sit on, even a cool graphic that’s really a calendar. Probably the most ubiquitous example of form & function is the wristwatch. The rarest could be the 3 that doubles as an ampersand (sort of) in the latest AmperArt edition.
Form & function is everywhere: our clothing, a building (although some are so ugly they are merely functional, & some are so poorly built they don’t really function).
Another example of form & function is a beautifully decorated serving of food. How about some writing instruments? And of course my favorite, my Mickey Mouse coffee mug. Fun to look at & very functional.

Movie Night
Perhaps you’ve guessed that movie inspired my “Form & Function” AmperArt piece.
