Form follows functions - an empirical study verifying the concept of four product functions derived from Jochen Gros' theory of product language

Abstract
At the end of the 20th century, it turned out that the principle of functionalism is not sufficient as an approach to design and does not describe all the relationships of users to objects in their possession. Since the 1960s, new concepts began to be formed enabling better understanding of design as a creative discipline that plays an increasingly important role in the modern world, as well as the attitudes and decisions of groups creating the “designed world” - designers or producers, and those who benefit from the effects of their activities - consumers, users etc.
One of the interesting concepts is Jochen Gros' theory of product language. This paper presents a research experiment verifying the concept of four product functions derived from the theory of product language, conducted during the master's course for students of design at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław. The text is made of two parts - an introduction constituting a literature review and a report from an empirical study.
