Piece and Quiet...

During lockdown people are turning to all sorts of things to keep them amused and distracted.

Jigsaw puzzles seem to be enjoying a real revival. This is puzzle month. Who even knew there was such a thing.

It will come as no surprise that I don’t have the patience to do them, although I know the calm quiet needed would probably do me the world of good. The new stye of puzzles also seem to be designed to give you the option to frame them like a piece of artwork.

My favourites are from Find Inner Piece. Yes that did make me laugh. Also I adore the little printed canvas bags they have designed to hold the pieces.

Create more quiet time

It was that simple (kinda hippy) idea that led us to create Inner Piece: a modern puzzle company that spreads quiet time in a loud, distracted world. We love puzzles because whether you're solving one alone or making it the center of a get together, they are an experience that compliments our brain’s natural state of calm rather than distracting from it.

Many Moods 500 pieces $30

Laurel Canyon 500 pieces $30

I’m also mightily smitten with this one from Monte A lovely new brand from Glasgow. Again these beautifully designed puzzles that can be displayed as art once complete. They are exclusively created by their favourite UK artists. Printed on high-quality, glossy and sustainable materials, and delivered to you in a reusable cotton bag.

Their first 750 piece puzzle is already into it’s second print edition.

Have a good weekend everyone.
