Prefer functional solutions over aesthetic ones

Why this matters

Design often prioritizes the “look” at the moment of sale or launch, ignoring the reality of daily use, wear and tear, and maintenance.

Principle

Function is the foundation. Aesthetics are the layer on top. Never compromise the core function for a visual choice.
