About this Service

Hello, I have a small side project extending my art practice to one-of-a-kind children's name puzzles. You choose the name, colors, and type of wood frame, and I create a 100% custom puzzle (you get a digital proof before its made).

Each puzzle is 100% custom and made by hand in Brooklyn, NY.
Each puzzle comes with a canvas dust-bag and limited edition screen printed coloring poster!

To order, please contact or visit the site below.

Material info:

Nora puzzles are constructed with quality materials to withstand the most enthusiastic playtime, ensuring they remain a beloved toy for years. Our letters are hand-crafted from hearty maple wood and finished with a durable, 100% food-safe colored wax. The trays are hand-made from Red Oak & Walnut and finished with a food safe Danish oil.

About this Lister

Nora Puzzle is a project of New York based artist Nate Harris.

He believes that the line between a toy and a sculpture is very thin and it is a joy for his work to be experienced in this way.

Background and Expertise

NORA started in 2019 when I used my father’s scroll saw to cut plywood into shapes resembling the letters of my niece's name: NORAH. What started as a Christmas gift has evolved into puzzles for friends, their newborns, and numerous commissions (notably a project for Warby Parker’s headquarters in NYC).
