Form follows function
The motto Form follows Function is one of the foundations of modern design and is used not only in product design and architecture, but also in the floristic environment. Basically, the concept says that first of all attention is paid to the function, ie the practical character of an object, and that the basic principles of design are based on this. The English sentence is not to be misunderstood in such a way that the form and the design of an object has to subordinate itself entirely to the function, rather, the design aspect should almost naturally arise from the function of an object. Especially in floristry, this principle is easier to follow than in other disciplines of the arts and crafts, as in the creation of clay, ceramics or entire buildings, people actively intervene in the creation process. Although in a flower or plant, an intervention in the form of targeted breeding takes place, the adult flower, blossom or plant in its present form, however, aesthetically not change much. In its basic concept, Form follows Function is based on nature anyway, since the shape of flowers, trees and other creatures has evolved over millions of years according to the principles that enable the respective plant or living organism to optimally adapt to its environment and thus alone function-oriented emerged. The aesthetic evaluation of flowers and flowers is only then done by humans.
