Emile-Allain Séguy, better known as E.A. Séguy (1890-1985), was a prolific French designer. He was active during the Art Nouveau movement of the 1920s and created Papillons, a timeless collection of prints inspired by butterflies. Séguy skillfully employed pochoir—a printing method using stencils—to produce vibrant illustrations of the winged insects.

Nervous System gives the artist’s iconic prints a second life in a collection of whimsical wooden puzzles. Made by hand at their studio in The Catskills, each jigsaw features Nervous System’s signature maze, wave, and coral-cut pieces. Interlocking components are uniquely shaped, and hidden among hundreds of pieces are sections reminiscent of a wide range of fluttering pollinators. You can now grab your very own puzzle from the Colossal Shop.
