Timeless Stone Puzzles: Discover the Art of Dar Proyectos
What happens when ancient stone carving meets playful creativity? In the latest episode of Artifact, Dan and Dave introduce a stunning collection of hand-carved stone puzzles, crafted by Peruvian artisans in the heart of the Andes. These are not just games — they’re natural stone art pieces you can play with, display, and gift.
All featured items are available at Dar Proyectos, a store that specializes in handmade Andean decor and artisan-crafted stone objects.
Where Play Meets Art
Right from the start, Dan and Dave show their excitement: “We never get tired of these,” they say, while showcasing the collection. And we understand why. Each puzzle is a unique, decorative brain teaser that’s as visually appealing as it is engaging.
These puzzles are carved and polished by hand, giving them a distinct texture, weight, and character. They make for beautiful home decor pieces, perfect for coffee tables, bookshelves, or desktops — ready to spark curiosity and conversation.
Who Makes These Puzzles?
As they explain, these pieces are made in the Andes by Dar Proyectos, a group of Peruvian stone artisans with deep knowledge of traditional stone carving techniques. Each puzzle is made with precision and creativity, making them ideal as artisan gifts or collectibles.
Dan and Dave recently collaborated with Dar Proyectos on an exclusive design — a limited-edition puzzle coming later this year.
