大眾一般認知的「玩具」，以功能性如教育、可玩性為主；創作人親手製作的玩具，透過獨一無二的方式去呈現自己的世界觀，則是觀賞性為要，並且很多時都跟流行文化相關。由是，社會上開始出現了一個新的名詞――設計師玩具；至近年，再有一個新的名詞――藝術玩具。由「設計師」轉變至「藝術」，究其原因，乃由眾多因素構成，例如創作人的自覺、社會或機構的認可等等。 從結構上而言，本書共分為三個部份，第一部份為歷史梳理，就如所有事情的發生，藝術玩具必然會有導火線、爆發點、起承轉合的發展。第二部份為訪問產業鏈中各個持份者，包括創作人、廠牌、玩具店、收藏家及玩具展主辦人，他們見證了香港設計師玩具的誕生，亦參與其中，掌握了這個行業非常重要的第一手資料。第三部份則為訪談所附帶的，關於他們對於藝術玩具的看法。 在各種「藝術 vs. 玩具」的理據碰撞下，希望能夠藉著這本書締造一個公開的討論平台，讓讀者能夠整合出一套自己對於藝術／玩具的看法，去思考藝術與玩具的各種可能性。 附加品： Art Space Molly（限量特別版，有不同顏色）
