What Jones meant when he said “Construction should be decorated, Decoration should never be constructed” he meant that you should design for function then adorn it rather than designing it just to look good. He argues that this does not lead to good design. I somewhat
disagree. It keeps things interesting when things are aesthetics are higher up on the design hierarchy as long as they function as they should.
Although the hamburger phone is a flawed design they are one of the coolest gimmicks to hit communications. Novelty phones don’t work the best after the first few months of use, those few months are an exciting time of being able to talk through a hamburger or a beer bottle. When considering this design Jones would have been appalled as their function is almost lost to aesthetics. They are really just an ornament with a phone tacked on
