Puzzles convey a sense of magic, surprise, challenge, and accomplishment. Their appeal endures for millions of people, especially Bob David. After several careers, including commercial pilot, airline administrator, and academic, Bob finally agreed with his psychiatrist: His life was truly puzzling. The solution – Parlor Puzzles Company of Lake Oswego, Oregon. Bob took the puzzle concept to woodworkers, metalsmiths, and potters. The results were desktop games in artful packaging, and after twenty five years this is still his focus. His team consists of designers and craftspeople busily concocting puzzles and games that drive people crazy. Fiddling, tugging and re-arranging these sturdy, high quality creations is frustrating fun and makes harmless retaliation available to everyone. Parlor Puzzles are sold in ten countries, appear in over 100 museums, and their clientele ranges from Library of Congress to Google. Bob is proud that his products are handmade in the USA and that his company is a member of Accent on Design, the juried section of the New York International Gift Show. If you have a curious mind (and frankly, he thinks everyone does), join him in being puzzled by the following collection. |
