“The Puxxle makes everything possible. The Puxxle is born out of the fascination that two sisters have for games. From childhood on, Catarina Lente and Luisa Lente (both Barcelona, Spain) pass most of their spare time with puzzles, imagining characters and inventing games. With the emergence of the Spectrum, they discover a new world and later on, with SimCity2000, their fascination for pixel-constructions begins.” The Puxxle art is available in the Puxxle shop: puxxle.yoyo.es. Found on lovelypackage.com.

If you love the work of Berlin’s Pixel company No.1 Eboy and the 80’s Pixel art, you will probably also enjoy the Bitboard project. Interaction designer and pixel guru Sam Raymann (Zurich, Switzerland) has had a simple and unique idea in 2011 to bring the pixels into your kitchen: create your own kitchen board using light and dark pixels. The board is being produced by one of Zurich’s Social Facilities and is made of light wood (Maple) and dark wood (Walnut) from happy Swiss trees.

Speaking of Sam it is possible to create about 453’709’822’561’251’032’758’287’056’861’279’551’488 variations. Some of them are shown in the gallery on the Bitboard website. The open beta phase has started in December 2011 and will be finished at the end of January 2012. New boards are expected to be produced at the end of January 2012. Go and get your very own Bitboard (site currently only available in German).
