Form Follows Function

Form follows function basically means that an object should have a design that supports its function.  Looking around the room, almost all the objects demonstrate form follow function: a chair affords sitting, a water bottle affords holding liquid.  However, by observing everyday objects that we use, we found products that do not follow form follows function, so we could improve them.  Below is my brainstorming and sketching.

Due to time constraints and limited inventor access, I was unable do make the CAD parts, but below is a picture of my presentation.

I designed a new box that would allow you to use the blade to slice the plastic wrap instead of tearing the plastic wrap using the blade for a cleaner, easier cut.  The process for making a box like this would be very similar to that of a normal box, but the blade needs to line up exactly with the edge of which it closes on.  In a plastic wrap box, form does not follow function because often, the blade does not work properly.  My design would fix that, so that it is designed mainly to cut the plastic.  It reminds me or a regular plastic wrap box, but it is different in the way that it demonstrates the function.  My design could be better with extra room on the edge between the flap and back piece to allow the flap more give and easier motion for slicing back and forth.
