Our Story

Where art slows down—and every piece finds its place.

We build puzzles for the moment you feel it: the quiet click, the color settling into grain, the calm that arrives as edges soften and the picture gathers itself. Wooden Cuties was born for that feeling—turning beautiful art into a ritual you can hold.

Why we exist

In a noisy world, we make objects that invite you to slow down. Our wooden jigsaws are crafted to be kept, shared, and displayed—modern heirlooms that reward patience with small bursts of delight.

How we make them

Draw. Every cut path starts by hand. Our artists sketch organic lines that wander, weave and surprise—so no two pieces feel alike.
Hide. Tiny, themed whimsy pieces are tucked into the art—little discoveries that lift a smile mid-build.
Print. We print the artwork directly onto wood for a satin, low-glare finish—color stays rich, details stay crisp, eyes stay rested.
Cut. High-precision lasers finish the work, leaving smooth edges and that whisper-tight fit puzzlers love.
Feel. From the first fingertip test to the final frame, everything is tuned for a calm, satisfying build.

What makes a Wooden Cuties puzzle different

• Hand-drawn cutting lines — flowing paths you can feel as much as see.
• Hidden whimsies — tiny silhouettes that echo the story in the art.
• Low-glare color — true-to-art tones that are easy on the eyes.
• A confident fit — clean edges, a quiet click, and pieces that nest without force.
• Display-ready finish — beautiful on the table, worthy of the wall

Art, cared for

We license and celebrate artwork from independent creators and beloved archives—classic posters, nature studies, painterly scenes, celestial nights. Every release is chosen for the way it builds: rhythm, contrast, texture, and a moment that feels good to finish.

Little piece, big impact

For every puzzle you bring home, we plant a tree. It’s our way of giving back to the forests that inspire us—over 45,000 trees planted so far. Small pieces add up.

Built with you

Our community helps choose what comes next. Through Shape What’s Next votes and early feedback, you guide the art we license and the experiences we design. We listen, we iterate, and we keep making better puzzles together.

A note from the studio

We’re a small, hands-on team obsessed with feel: the glide of a piece into place, the hush of a well-cut edge, the moment the picture finally breathes. If our puzzles bring a little more stillness to your day—and a little more wonder to your table—we’ve done our job.
