The question at the start of any product development process is, how a specific purpose can become an object? What form does that purpose lead to? What technology, what material are particularly suitable to achieve this? The answers to these questions result in a product that works, that functions. Not everything that is functional is, however, good to use.
One example of the quality of function is the Fiskars Oscillating Sprinklers lawn sprinkler system: the range of the sprinkler can be individually adjusted for even, efficient and precise irrigation and
therefore optimised water consumption. The width and direction can also be set easily, as all control elements are highlighted in colour.
Also the xTool P2 cutting and engraving machine, which can be used to work on a wide range of different materials, is well thought out in terms of function. Thanks to high-accuracy image positioning during
processing, even the smallest objects can be precisely customised with the desired motif.
