Modern sexual wellness brand Maude is expanding its range of body care products and personal care staples with a limited-edition puzzle created in collaboration with Piecework Puzzles. The Maude Bottoms Up jigsaw puzzle has 500 pieces and it promises to be a "puzzle that truly sets the mood"—and the puzzle featuring a photograph by Carl Ostberg is deemed not suitable for children. The scene depicts a candlelit table with snacks like olives, pistachios and glasses of whiskey.
Over the last few years, adults have been taking up puzzles as a low-tech, meditative activity. With this product, Maude set out to explore how it might express itself in a new way, as well as how mood and intimacy can be created home with leisure activities.
