The Coveted Closet 1000 Piece Puzzle

A wardrobe nobody can afford, rendered in cardboard everybody can.

The collection puzzle is a genre of its own: a single frame packed edge to edge with objects of one kind, arranged for maximum browsing. Here it is a walk-in wardrobe, which means shelves, rails, shoes, bags and the general fantasy of owning enough clothing to require an entire room for it. As subjects go it is unashamedly aspirational, and it works precisely because the eye keeps finding new things in it.

Compositions like this are the most satisfying kind of 1000 piece puzzle to sort, because objects give you natural groups to work in rather than an undifferentiated field of colour. The difficulty comes from repetition instead, since a shelf of similar shoes will happily accept the wrong piece for a moment. Ravensburger cut every piece individually, their Softclick fit holds sections together when moved, and the finished puzzle is 70 by 50 centimetres.

Perfect for: Anyone who has ever tidied a wardrobe by taking absolutely everything out and then losing their nerve.
