Discover Galison's Double-Sided Jigsaw Puzzles: Two Artistic Experiences in One

At Galison, we've been bringing art into everyday life since 1979. Our journey began with a simple mission: to make select art imagery widely available through smartly designed paper products. 

Over four decades later, we're proud to present our collection of double-sided jigsaw puzzles – an innovative approach that offers puzzle enthusiasts two completely different artistic experiences in a single box.

  • Each double-sided puzzle features unique artwork on both sides, doubling your puzzling enjoyment while taking up half the storage space.
  • Our puzzles showcase designs from renowned artists, fashion designers, photographers, and architects, transforming a recreational activity into an artistic experience.

What sets our double-sided puzzles apart isn't just the two-in-one value – it's the artistic quality behind each design. As a New York City-based company with deep connections to the art world, we carefully curate each puzzle to ensure it delivers both an engaging challenge and a visually stunning result worthy of display.

  • Our 500-1000 piece puzzles provide the perfect balance between accessibility and challenge for adult puzzle enthusiasts.
  • We've pioneered innovative features like shaped pieces and panoramic formats to offer fresh puzzling experiences beyond the standard rectangle.

Explore Our Innovative Double-Sided Puzzle Collection with 500-1000 Pieces

Our collection of double-sided jigsaw puzzles ranges from moderately challenging 500-piece designs to more complex 1000-piece masterpieces. The double-sided format adds an extra dimension of difficulty that experienced puzzlers appreciate – with no edge pieces to sort easily, these puzzles require a more strategic approach and sharper attention to color and pattern.

  • Most of our collection features 500-piece puzzles, offering a satisfying challenge that can typically be completed in several enjoyable sessions.
  • For those seeking a more substantial project, our Christian Lacroix Heritage Collection Rêveries 1000 Piece Panoramic Puzzle provides a luxurious extended puzzling experience.

We've enhanced many of our puzzles with uniquely shaped pieces that break away from traditional grid-cut patterns. These special pieces add both visual interest and additional challenge, making the puzzling experience more engaging and the finished result more distinctive.

The double-sided format presents a unique challenge – since both sides contain different artwork, puzzlers must pay closer attention to the shapes of pieces rather than relying solely on color matching. This adds complexity for experienced puzzlers while providing excellent value with two complete puzzles in one box.

  • Each side is printed with completely different artwork, providing two distinct puzzling experiences.
  • The printing quality ensures vibrant colors and sharp details on both sides, with no bleed-through between designs.

Our puzzles come packaged in beautifully designed boxes that reflect the artistic quality inside, making them perfect for gifting or displaying on your shelf between puzzling sessions.

Renowned Artist and Designer Collaborations in Jigsaw Puzzle Form

Our commitment to bringing art into everyday life is exemplified through our collaborations with celebrated artists, designers, and cultural institutions. These partnerships allow us to transform exceptional artwork into interactive puzzling experiences that both challenge and inspire.

Photographer Gray Malin brings his distinctive aerial perspective to our puzzle collection, capturing iconic locations from unexpected vantage points. His work transforms ordinary scenes into extraordinary visual experiences that make for challenging and rewarding puzzles.

Our partnership with architectural icon Frank Lloyd Wright brings the precision and beauty of his designs to puzzle form. The Frank Lloyd Wright Taliesin and Taliesin West Double-Sided 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle showcases two of his most famous residences, allowing puzzlers to appreciate the architectural details from a new perspective.

  • One side features Taliesin, Wright's personal home and studio in Wisconsin, while the reverse showcases Taliesin West, his winter home and school in Arizona.
  • The puzzle celebrates Wright's organic architectural style and connection to natural landscapes.

The intersection of art and social impact comes to life in our collaborations with DreamYard, featuring works by contemporary artists Romare Bearden and Derrick Adams. These puzzles not only provide engaging puzzling experiences but also support meaningful arts education initiatives.

Our bridge between the worlds of fine art and puzzles continues with the meticulous illustrations of Michael Storrings, whose detailed cityscapes capture the energy and architecture of urban environments. The Michael Storrings Springtime at the Library 500 Piece Double-Sided Puzzle immortalizes New York's iconic library in glorious spring bloom.

  • Storrings' attention to architectural detail and lively human elements creates a richly rewarding puzzling experience.
  • The reverse side features an equally charming complementary design that offers a different puzzling challenge.

From City Scenes to Abstract Art: Diverse Puzzle Designs for Every Taste

Our double-sided puzzle collection spans a wide range of artistic styles, ensuring there's something perfect for every aesthetic preference and puzzling interest. This diversity allows puzzle enthusiasts to explore different artistic movements and design approaches through the interactive medium of puzzling.

Fashion and textile design take center stage in our collaborations with Liberty London and Trina Turk, transforming iconic patterns and prints into challenging puzzle experiences. These puzzles bring high fashion into the puzzling world, with designs that showcase pattern, color, and composition.

For those drawn to more spiritual or symbolic imagery, our Major Arcana 500 Piece Double-Sided Puzzle brings the rich symbolism of tarot into puzzling form. The intricate details and mystical imagery provide both a visual feast and an intellectual challenge.

  • One side features traditional tarot imagery reinterpreted with contemporary artistic flair.
  • The reverse offers a complementary design that explores different aspects of tarot symbolism.

The diverse hotel scenes captured in Gray Malin's work offer glimpses into luxurious environments and playful moments. The Gray Malin at the Parker Double-Sided 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle invites puzzlers into the photographer's colorful world of luxury hospitality with a whimsical twist.

  • Malin's distinctive photography style transforms ordinary scenes into extraordinary visual experiences.
  • The contrasting designs on each side provide variety in both imagery and puzzling challenge.

The breadth of our collection ensures that art lovers can find puzzles that resonate with their personal aesthetic preferences while enjoying the unique challenge that double-sided puzzles provide.

Unique Features That Set Our Double-Sided Puzzles Apart

What truly distinguishes Galison's puzzle collection goes beyond the double-sided format. We've incorporated innovative features that transform the puzzling experience and elevate these jigsaw puzzles from mere pastimes to artistic activities worthy of display and collection.

  • Our double-sided printing technology ensures vibrant colors and sharp details on both sides with absolutely no bleed-through between designs.
  • The precision-cut pieces fit together snugly, creating a satisfying assembly experience and a stable finished puzzle.

Several puzzles in our collection feature specially shaped pieces that break away from the traditional grid pattern. These uniquely shaped pieces add an extra dimension of challenge and visual interest to the puzzling experience.

The premium quality materials we use ensure these puzzles will withstand repeated assembly without losing their visual impact or structural integrity. The thick, sturdy pieces resist bending and maintain their shape through multiple puzzling sessions.

  • Each puzzle is crafted from high-quality paperboard with a linen finish that provides pleasant tactile feedback during assembly.
  • The matte finish reduces glare, making these puzzles comfortable to work on under various lighting conditions.

How Double-Sided Puzzles Solve Common Jigsaw Challenges

As puzzle enthusiasts ourselves, we understand the challenges that jigsaw lovers face. Our double-sided puzzle collection directly addresses many common pain points while enhancing the overall puzzling experience.

Value and Variety in One Box

The most obvious advantage of our double-sided puzzles is the two-in-one value. Instead of purchasing multiple puzzles, you receive two complete designs in a single box – doubling your puzzling enjoyment while reducing cost and storage requirements.

  • Perfect for puzzle enthusiasts who want variety without accumulating too many boxes.
  • Ideal for travelers who want to bring multiple puzzling experiences in compact luggage.

Many puzzle enthusiasts struggle with the "one-and-done" nature of traditional puzzles – once completed, they're often reluctant to disassemble a puzzle they've worked hard to complete. Our double-sided format provides natural motivation to disassemble and flip the puzzle to experience the second design.

  • The second design gives you permission to disassemble your completed puzzle.
  • Each side offers a completely different aesthetic and puzzling experience.

Elevated Challenge for Experienced Puzzlers

Standard puzzles can become predictable for experienced puzzlers who have developed strategies like sorting edge pieces first. Our double-sided format eliminates this approach, requiring a more advanced strategy that focuses on shape recognition rather than just edge sorting.

  • With no distinct edge pieces to sort easily, these puzzles require more attention to detail.
  • The dual designs demand closer attention to the shapes of pieces rather than just colors and patterns.

The addition of shaped pieces in puzzles like the Trina Turk 500 Piece Double-Sided Puzzle adds another layer of complexity, challenging even the most experienced puzzlers to adapt their assembly strategies.

  • Shaped pieces create more interesting interlocking patterns than standard grid-cut puzzles.
  • The unique outlines of shaped puzzles create a more distinctive finished product.

Storage Solutions for Puzzle Enthusiasts

Many puzzle lovers struggle with storing their growing collections. Our double-sided puzzles effectively cut your storage needs in half by providing two puzzling experiences in each box.

  • Each puzzle takes up half the shelf space of two single-sided puzzles.
  • The sturdy, attractive boxes are designed for repeated use and display between puzzling sessions.

For those who prefer to store completed puzzles rather than disassembling them, our puzzles make excellent display pieces that can be flipped periodically to show the alternate design, effectively giving you two art pieces in the space of one.

  • Completed puzzles can be preserved with puzzle glue and framed for display.
  • The double-sided nature means you can choose which design to display based on your mood or decor.

Gift-Giving Made Easier

Finding the perfect gift for puzzle enthusiasts can be challenging, especially when you're unsure of their specific taste in imagery. Our double-sided puzzles increase the chances of delighting the recipient, as they offer two distinct designs in various artistic styles.

  • The variety of artistic styles in our collection makes it easier to find something that resonates with the recipient.
  • The premium packaging and artist collaborations elevate these puzzles from simple pastimes to thoughtful gifts.
