To listen to designer and founder of Smart Design Davin Stowell talk about kitchen tools I can not help but be swept up into his world of aesthetics, [form and function](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hapffe-waffle-maker). Stowell draws a parallel between the perfect kitchen tool and falling in love: it’s a relationship that develops over time and your initial expectation aren’t always accurate.
