In an age when being busy is often glorified, taking the time to live slowly and with intention can almost feel selfish. Not for Paris Zhao. The Hong Kong-based creator of Palette Puzzles, a jigsaw puzzle brand that is putting mindfulness at its forefront, transforms the works of female artists around the world into frame-worthy puzzles. Palette Puzzles’ collection currently comprises six calm and inviting jigsaws, including Home Together by San Francisco-based digital illustrator and architect Ceyda Alasar, who creates pieces based on simple moments in everyday life; and Girls’ Trip, a handpainted piece by Netherlands-based Dutch Egyptian illustrator Roeqiya Fris, whose work depicts diversity, female friendships and sisterhood. Each puzzle comes with a kit, including two puzzle trays, to make sorting fun and easy. This month, the brand is launching new designs in celebration of International Women’s Day on March 8.
