Owen Jones believed that nothing should be built, designed or made without it's purpose as it's foremost priority. That before you decide how to make your object look aesthetically that you must make sure your product, whatever it may be is as purpose built as possible. That the design process involved in coming up with a product must revolve around it's functionality, that it does whatever its suppose to do exactly how its suppose to do it. 

Personally I disagree with Owen jones' opinion, I believe that in the world we live in today people care a lot for image and that consumers will be drawn to products that have a great look. As long as the product also does what it's suppose to, it is natural for us to base a large majority of our natural selection on things we think look better and suit us more. It may not be the same for everyone but that comes down to personal opinion, not functionality.
