Piecework was founded in 2019 in Los Angeles by Rachel Hochhauser and Jena Wolfe — with the conviction that puzzles can be more than a pastime. The brand combines art-direction at coffee-table-book level with the conscious act of slowing down from screens. Beyond puzzles, the range includes linen cocktail napkins and decorative matchboxes — all with the same commitment to colour, texture and giftability.

An official collaboration with the Slim Aarons Estate brings iconic photographs to puzzle pieces. Poolside Gossip (1000 pieces) shows the legendary Palm Springs pool scene. Sun Basking (1000 pieces), Verbier Vacation (750 pieces) and Christmas Swim (1000 pieces) complete the collection. The Trio bundles three motifs as a 300-piece set — ideal for gifting or framing.

The core format: 49 × 68 cm, 1000 pieces, in a premium box. Every motif tells a story. I Heart NY for New York fans, Pajama Party for cosy evenings, Top Dog for dog lovers, Après-Ski for winter nostalgia, Bon Voyage for travellers and Happy Camper for the outdoors.

Beyond the rectangle: the holographic round puzzle Disco (750 pieces, Ø 56 cm) shimmers from every angle. The mini puzzles HBD! and Lucky Stars / Thank You (70 pieces each) are greeting cards you assemble — perfect for birthdays or thank-yous. Plus the practical Puzzle-Sortierschalen made from recycled card.

Three festive motifs for the holiday season: Tinseltown, Frost Yourself and Peppermint Parade (1000 pieces each). Plus Christmas Swim from the Slim Aarons collection. Each puzzle works as a gift or a shared project for the holidays.

Embroidered linen napkins in sets of four. Motifs for every occasion: Sweetheart (hearts), Hors d’Oeuvres (apéro), Shell (shells), Sardine (fish), Martini (cocktail), Birthday (birthday) and Gingerbread (gingerbread for Christmas). Machine-washable and long-lasting.

150 coloured matches in a printed design box. Four variants: Celebration (multicolour), Matcha (green), Maraschino (cherry red) and Cloud (sky blue). A functional eye-catcher for candle lovers and hosts.
