OUR COLLECTION
Anni, designed by Amanda Jane Jones is a patchwork playfield that uses simple shapes and patterns coloured in a refined palette to create a lively sense of movement.
Using a combination of painting and collage, Otto Iram’s Bric-à-brac was created in a spontaneous manner. From making his own palette of papers that he painted with bright, bold colours, to loosely cutting geometric forms, nothing was pre-planned.
Piece together all eight planets in our solar system with this beautiful 2000-piece puzzle set. The images, all captured by NASA over half a century of space exploration, are some of the most detailed images of our solar system to date.
Tangled by Vratislav Pecaka of PosterLad is a web of bold colourful lines that is the perfectly challenging to assemble.
Designing Destiny by Ryan McGinness is part of a series of paintings called Mindscapes, which reflect how our minds run on RAM (Random Access Memories).
