Industrial designers design an object with two basic elements in mind: functionality and aesthetic. Industrial designed objects, such as cell-phones, cars, and household gadgets, are often design to tend the needs of general audiences, and are mass produced most of the time to meet that goal.
Vacuum cleaner is a machine that fits in the category of industrial designed object. The main function of a vacuum cleaner is to people sanitize his or her nearby environment without the need to call for specialists. Being said, in the past decades, people started to pay more attention on not only the function of a vacuum but also its appearance.

Dyson Vacuum is one of the most famous vacuums in the world. It claims that the design has both form and content, meaning the vacuum is well designed in both appearance and function. When looking at the shape of the Dyson vacuum, its slick, streamlined wheel design is the most noteworthy, and the design delivers a message of cleanliness and efficiency. When I glance at the vacuum, the most remarkable feature that caught my eyes is “the ball” design in the bottom of the vacuum. Using “the ball” to replace the standard wheels that traditional vacuum used, “the ball” design makes the vacuum move smoother and easier like you are rolling a ball. Other then the fact that “the ball” maneuvers better than a standard wheel, the appearance of “the ball” compare to that of a standard wheel is more attractive to audiences, and this feature differentiates the Dyson from all the other vacuums.
Dyson vacuum, a good industrial design, holds both content and form. This design truly improves the appearance and function of standard vacuums. As Dieter Rams said, “Good design should be innovative, useful aesthetic and understandable. Also good design is honest, unobtrusive, long-lived and consistent in every detail.”
