The Jigsaw Nomad is a company that specializes in creating unique puzzle designs inspired by patterns and textures seen by walking around New York City. The company was founded by Valeria Bianco, a designer and puzzle enthusiast who spends her days walking around the city in search of beautiful patterns to feature in her puzzles. She decided to start photographing her discoveries and has taken those images and created beautiful, collage-style collections.

The images are designed to be challenging and rewarding to piece together, and often it feels like you are doing a bunch of mini puzzles to create the bigger picture. The Jigsaw Nomad successfully crowdfunded their first production run on Kickstarter, and their first collection is a tribute to the city of New York.

This brand has quickly become a favorite in the online puzzle community and with Completing the Puzzle customers! Art & Fable Puzzle Company is a puzzle manufacturer that produces high-quality jigsaw puzzles featuring unique and beautiful art from artists around the world.
Art & Fable puzzle pieces have one of the most unique puzzle feels in the industry. The pieces have a "velvet touch" texture that elevates the tactile experience of piecing together their puzzles. The finish not only feels great but helps the images pop, and reduces glare when puzzling under artificial lighting.

They put a ton of thought and care into their product, from the artwork to the packaging. Each puzzle comes in a reusable velvet bag inside a sturdy, magnetic close box. The pieces have a super soft texture and are matte to reduce glare while puzzling. They use multiple die-cuts, so some of their puzzles are random cut and some are ribbon cut with more traditional piece shapes. The pieces fit together snugly enough to be able to move completed sections around your puzzling area.
The company works with talented artists and designers to create puzzles with beautiful and complex designs that allow you to get lost in the meditative experience of putting the pieces together.
