You can discover more about designer toys and their makers in Figure It Out, a new book published by viction:ary that shines a spotlight on over 60 talented creatives who use their artistry and skills to produce unique collectables that blur the line between art and toy.
Made in collaboration with award-winning creative director Lio Yeung, the book features a wide curation of compelling projects and interviews with luminaries in the industry, it is a visual collection of seminal work and ideas that will capture the imagination of art, design, and pop culture enthusiasts all around the world.
