HENRY FORD: Model T
"I will build a car for the great multitude. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for the individual to run and care for. It will be constructed of the best materials, by the best men to be hired, after the simplest designs that modern engineering can devise. But it will be low in price that no man making a good salary will be unable to own one-and enjoy with his family the blessing of hours of pleasure in God's great open spaces"
 
Essentially Ford was trying to fuse together the ideas of both form and function. While the Model T was simple in its design it was both functional for the everyday family, and for the individual.
