"If you were to describe this in functional terms, you'd have something like:1. Tilted for drainage(perhaps at a particular angle)2. Channel for drainage into sink or tub.3. Some detail to hold the soap bar in placeThese attributes don't dictate that the end product is fugly.It's ugly because whoever designed it had little to no sense of aesthetics, or simply didn't care what it looked like.If you were to hold a design competition with these functional requirements, you'd be flooded with interpretations more aesthetically pleasing than this."
