>Ok form follows functions*, because it’s not only the function who is important to the product, it’s always the emotion the product ist carrying.
You're misunderstanding the phrase. "Form follows function" means that the shape and aesthetics of a thing naturally derive from its function. Figure out what something is supposed to do, and the overall aesthetics will present themselves to you as the functional whole is worked out. Superficial detailing can be a part of aesthetic considerations, but it comes after this. And attempting to force aesthetics onto functional parts often results in poor functionality. For example, Louis Sullivan coined that phrase, and he generally had a decent handle on things, but later Modernist architects got too focused on the idea of "machines for living", forgetting that humans have a nature with various social and emotional components that are influenced by the built environment. This resulted in building and community designs that failed on all accounts, from keeping out water to durability to building functional communities to actually being used as intended over the long term.

These tool designs show a lack of understanding of how tools work. What the handle of a screwdriver is for. How a hammer works (look up center of percussion). What the claw is for. Why the face is shaped the way it is.

>So image i say, the hammer is for somebody who has a really fine aesthetic sense and really like to work on beautiful product
If the hammer is actually used, it will get dented, scratched, and dirty. Such things will stick out clearly on a medical-grade steel finish, so the lifetime aesthetic of these tools will be a "beautiful product" that is smudged and scratched, making it looks shabby. Actual hammers made to be used and also made with aesthetic consideration age like antiques, acquiring a worn patina can improve over generations.
