I chose this Gus Modern Acrylic Wine Holder as a great example of "form follows function."
The sleek, clear, acrylic is one of the most simple construction materials. It is also strong and load bearing to perform its function of holding the wine bottles in an aesthetically pleasing way. Reply to this

What an excellent example of Form follows Function. Remember, the aesthetic aspect is a secondary concern and some might disagree that this wine holder is aesthetically appealing because it is void of ornamentation. That's why it is such a nice example. This piece, like all good design, displays a number of design principles. Reply to this
I took a picture of my glasses in their case to provide example of Form Follows Function.
This hard case was made to help protect the glasses from becoming scratch and accidental hits that could be made. The size helps because it matches to a slightly bigger size of the glasses so that it can be taken with the individual. Reply to this

This picture actually has two example of 'form follows function'. The first example is the guitar cases. The case is designed with function in mind rather than appeal. It is very simple and basic, but it serves its purpose. The shape of the case gives it its purity and originality. The second is the case rack. Very simple and minimal. It is designed to serve and still look good enough to put in a room. Reply to this

I picked this picture of a standard lighter. It's plastic construction is simple, basic, and straight-forward, while serving its function at the same time. It's not flashy, but gets the job done.
