"Designer toys are serious works of art; they are also plastic, mass-produced products that sit on store sheves. Adults put them behind glass while kids play with them. Product, logo, and design are art. They're all one.
What I love (about designer toys) is the anarchic spirit of joy and freedom they still represent. The designer toy movement thrives without any serious curators, without important gallery owners, and without grim-faced or sunglass-wearing arbiters of style who decide what is good and what is bad, what is important and what is trash."
