I recently put a name to a kind of product design I care about: functional elegance. It means putting care into design where that care materially helps the user, without adding ornament that competes with the job.

I care about how products feel to use, but “delight” has always felt slightly too decorative a word for it. The thing I’m after is more practical: design that makes a product work better.
