The [chef and cookbook author](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ms-x-tom-kerridge-collection) highlights curves and bright tones with pieces that are ready for cooking, serving, and storing in the kitchen. All of these are go-to tools in the chef's own kitchen, designed to her standards using FSC®-certified materials. Molly talks about the new collection with [Design Milk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abc-stone), stating that “This collection was created and designed with the home cook in mind. I felt very strongly about that – it can and should serve any and all types of home cooks. The line features a whole range that makes stepping into the kitchen a joy rather than a chore. I wanted to bring good design, and a bit of playfulness and color, to all elements of the cooking, wine-ing, and dining processes, with the ultimate goal of making every bit of it just a little less stressful, and a lot more fun.” Image Credit: Molly Baz, Crate & Barrel ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 16% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Home Chef Kitchen Collection:** Creating colorful, functional and comfortable kitchen essentials for home chefs - **Sustainable Kitchenware Collection:** Designing eco-friendly kitchen tools and products using environmentally safe materials - **Personalized Kitchenware Collection:** Creating a unique and personalized kitchen collection based on the individual's cooking needs and preferences ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Goods Retail Industry:** Developing a new line of chef-designed, vibrant and functional kitchen essentials exclusive to home goods retailers - **Sustainable Kitchenware Manufacturing Industry:** Manufacturing eco-friendly kitchenware collection materials such as bamboo, silicone and stainless steel - **Custom Kitchenware Manufacturing Industry:** Offering personalized kitchens on demand using advanced customization technology and 3D printing ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chef-Inspired Kitchen Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaby-dalkin.md) - [Restauranteur-Approved Housewares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crate-barrel-and-daniel-humm.md) - [Sunning High-Design Cookware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/after-crate-barrel-and-caraway.md) - [Demolition-Free Home Renovation Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-renovation-collection.md) - [Artist-Inspired Home Décor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucia-eames.md) - [Expansive Designer Home Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athena-calderone.md) - [Celebrity-Inspired Cookware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dolly-parton-1.md) - [Collaborative Home Decor Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-july-by-ayesha-curry-x-pottery-barn.md) - [Easeful Asian-Inspired Meal Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molly-yeh-x-blue-apron.md)
