As objects, puzzles have long had fuddy-duddy connotations — they are the kinds of things that you take out during the holidays or that gather dust in a grandparent’s closet. But as experiences, they can be wonderfully social or meditative and immersive. Working in design and client services, the partners at Major Studio started puzzling as a means to get away from our screens and unwind. But, despite our love of puzzles, we felt there were no design-oriented jigsaws in the marketplace, certainly not ones you would gift to a friend or display on a coffee table. Somewhat naively (!) we decided to create our own puzzle company with one intent: refresh the humble jigsaw.
