About Form Follows Function
A design journal in the Bauhaus tradition. Geometry, color, and honest materials.
The project
Form Follows Function is a quiet protest against design-as-decoration. We believe the best objects are honest about their materials, generous to their users, and accountable to the people who made them. This is a journal for designers who still believe that.
