Frequently asked questions
Who was Slim Aarons?
For decades, Slim Aarons (1916–2006) photographed the rich and beautiful in the world's most beautiful places – his motto: “attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places”. Getty Images now manages his archive, and Piecework produces selected images as puzzles in official collaboration.
Who is “Christmas Swim” a good gift for?
For photography and mid-century fans, for anyone who would rather spend Christmas in the sun, and as a family puzzle for the holidays. A Christmas present that doesn't look like Christmas kitsch.
How challenging is the puzzle?
1,000 pieces is the classic adult format: challenging enough for several relaxed evenings, yet very doable. The thick board pieces sit well in the hand and fit together cleanly. Tip: Piecework's puzzle sorting trays keep the pieces sorted by colour.
Can I frame the finished puzzle?
Yes. Fixed with puzzle glue, the finished image of approx. 49 × 68 cm fits a standard 50 × 70 cm picture frame. That way the image stays on the wall long after the last piece.
Do I need to wrap the puzzle?
No. The box is designed to work without wrapping paper – add a ribbon and a card and you're done. After puzzling, it looks good on a shelf.
Is the puzzle suitable for children?
Piecework designs its puzzles for adults and does not recommend them for children. For an evening at the table with teenagers or the whole family, however, it is ideal.
Is the puzzle suitable as a corporate gift?
Yes – a puzzle gives screen-free time and is remembered. Click “Corporate Gifts” in the top menu — all details on quantities, terms and personal advice are there.
