First comes to my mind, form is the shape,visual appearance, or configuration of an object. While function is the way by how it can be use or else the presentational of a thing. Follows function are things that purposely made out according to the originality personal from the function of itself. Example like I made pencil box in a box shape, it function to keep my pencil and portable for me to bring along and put into my beg. So the form is box shape, function is portable for me to keep my pencil. This is own opinion when I haven't do any research about form follows function.
According to Wikipedia, Form follows function is a principle associated with modern architecture and industrial design in the 20th century. The principle is that the shape of a building or object should be primarily based upon its intended function or purpose. In the context of design professions form follows function intuitively seems like good sense, but on closer examination it becomes problematic and open to interpretation. Linking the relationship between the form of an object and its intended purpose is not always by itself a complete design solution. Defining the precise meaning(s) of the phrase 'form follows function' opens a discussion of design integrity that remains an important, lively debate.
form: Hyundai NEOS, top grade concept car
function: backed up by a mid-mounted 2 litre 250 bhp engine concealed by the aluminum and composite bodywork.
form: Volkswagen New Beetle
(separate wings, vestigial running boards, sloping headlamps and large round tail lights)
function: Max speed: 177 km/h (110 mph), Acceleration (0–96 km/h | 0-60 mph): 13.2 s
form: BMW 5 Series, top grade concept car.
function: The eight gear reduces the number of revolution at high speeds, tangibly increasing comfort while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

I will be focusing in product design. Automobile designing. If the design of an automobile conforms to its function, as in its shape or wide stance for better vehicle dynamics, den it called form follows it function.
