Jiangli,the famous furniture designer of China,said:The function is secondary in the furniture design. The important thing is to express the feeling of people.And she also think tne feminine design is the mainstream in furniture design.
I don't think so. Firstly,I agree witn the view of "situation following function". Although a good design is the combination of function and art the function and comfort is the most important. Secondly, I think male design and the cartoon design and so on is very common and popular.
How do you think about it? Please share your view with us! Thank you very much !

it depends
Waver,
I appreciate the entire PK seating and lounging series for Fritz Hansen as well as the Pfister series of sofas and club chairs for form equals function in my home. I favor Artemide, Flos, Fontana Arte for lighting. I include an edited selection of Memphis Milano chairs, tables, and lamping (as well as Ingo Maurer) for color and contrast. Art and decorative items are the area that I let form take precedence.
This is my simple answer to a much deeper question.
Well, yes:
The next question would be, what do those choices have in common (if anything) that makes them attractive -- functionally and aesthetically -- for you ? Which of them did you choose primarily for satisfactory function, and which for aesthetic appeal -- and why ?
There may or may not be universal answers to the query posed by this thread; if not, then we have case studies galore, where individual items can be analyzed . . .

What is it?
A stool? If so, do you straddle it so that the raised part is between your legs? Or do you sit with both legs a pair of the three (?) raised parts...??
Its use is not readily apparent. That's kind of a design drawback, I think.
Also, if it's a stool then either of the ways to use it that I asked about above are kind of awkward. When sitting, you need to be able to tuck your feet under the chair or stool at least a few inches so that you can transfer your weight as you lean forward to get up. It doesn't look like this is easily done on this thing.
Also, the fabric covering is creased and puckered but maybe this is just a problem with the prototype...?
There is a similar (Dutch ?) ...
There is a similar (Dutch ?) stool available in a plastic shell with green upholstery, they stack which is nice.
I think it could be comfortable and functional enough, like a saddle.
Sometimes there are details in a piece (that that cloven chair above) that at first glance may appear uneccesary but are significant to the nature of the material, the split in the back leg of the chair is actually functional.
