Function Meets Form (designed by Michael Graves for Alessi)

Modern - to reject the traditionally accepted or sanctioned (in art and design). To be of one's time, not antiquated or obsolete.

The ethos of Modernism is exemplified the collaborations between Alessi, the Italian utensils company (founded in 1921 -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessi_(company) ) and modern designers, many of whom come from diverse professional backgrounds. This timer exemplifies form and function, the ultimate modern design accolade (IMHO), having survived many moves and daily use, and was designed by Michael Graves, one of America's leading architects of the 20th century en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Graves.
