Does style really sell? How can the appearance of a product be more important than what it does? The battle between form and function rose again when James Dyson,British inventor of the Dyson vacuum(真空) cleaner that has sold in millions around the world,resigned as chairman of London's Design Museum.It is widely believed that Mr.Dyson felt that the museum put too much stress on style at the expense of serious industrial design.
Mr.Dyson accused the museum of not keeping true to itself.He may be right,but these days,museums everywhere can no longer afford to be unique centers of scholarship and learning.Among competition for sponsorship,they must use exhibitions of populist culture,nice cafes and shops or,best of all,a new building by Frank Gehry to increase visitor numbers.
On the one hand,some producers can be too oldfashioned and too concerned with the importance of product engineering and the functionality of their goods.On the other hand,there are those who believe that how a product looks is more important.Design is indeed a broad term,involving both function and form.Typically,in any given product area,it changes from the former to the latter.Clothing is a good example.But surely you would have to be a very shallow person to think something's appearance is more important than what it does.
