Why We Exist
Our mission at MasterPiece is to create more than just beautiful wooden puzzles, we want to create meaningful moments. In a world that's always fast paced and connected, we invite you to slow down, disconnect from the noise, and then reconnect - whether it’s with yourself, a loved one or a group of friends - through the simple, satisfying act of puzzling. Our puzzles are a space for reflection, conversation and creativity, turning quiet time into quality time. We are truly passionate about South Africa and this is reflected in our beautiful variety of South African inspired designs and themes. We also love supporting local artists and all of our commissioned puzzle designs are created by South African artists.
Art You Can Build
The name MasterPiece comes from our desire to create puzzles that are not only fun to build but so beautiful that they could be considered masterpieces. We encourage you to frame your completed puzzle as unique wall art, especially if you don't plan to rebuild it. It's about transforming a relaxing pastime into a lasting expression of beauty, creativity and achievement. Our puzzles are also of the highest quality and will last on your wall for years to come.
We Love Mzansi
Born in Cape Town, MasterPiece is passionate about supporting the local economy and consistently celebrating this amazing country we live in. From producing our puzzles right here in South Africa to collaborating with local artists and photographers, we’re committed to showcasing homegrown creativity. Every MasterPiece puzzle celebrates the richness of our local talent and keeps the heart of our business rooted in our beautiful country.
Passionate About People
MasterPiece Puzzles was founded by South African artist and entrepreneur Matthew Bell. Behind every puzzle is our tight-knit team of six - Matthew, Lauren, Charmaine, Roza, Jordyn and Emma, each bringing creativity, passion and purpose to the table. We are the hands and minds making the magic happen, one piece at a time, and with this committed team you can rest assured that we treat each and every puzzle as if its the last one we'll ever make!
Piecing Together The Bigger Picture
