The spark

There’s a point in every day when the noise softens. A kettle clicks, a chair creaks, and a little space opens for something beautiful. DAILE started as a promise to protect that space. We combine fine art with a simple, grounding ritual so you can turn an ordinary evening into a moment you’ll remember.

We call it an art‑ritual: a thoughtfully designed set that invites you to slow down, touch real materials, notice colors you might otherwise miss, and piece by piece arrive in the present.

What’s inside a DAILE gift set

Fine art jigsaw carefully printed for color fidelity and a satin touch.
Bamboo capsule your puzzle’s timeless home designed to look beautiful on a shelf, not hidden in a closet.
Glue in a branded tube so you can preserve the artwork after assembly.
Microfiber cloth to keep the finished surface spotless.
Story cards & NFC touchpoint with artist notes and care tips.
Candle our symbol of presence and calm to light the ritual.
(Components may vary across collections and editions.)

We engineered every element to feel considered, gift‑ready, and lasting. Nothing is accidental; everything is part of the experience.

The ritual (how to use DAILE)

Set the tone. Clear a table. Light the candle. Put your phone away.
Meet the art. Read the short artist note. Notice the palette and shapes.
Begin with the edges. Trace the frame to give the artwork a quiet boundary.
Follow the colors. Sort by tones and textures; let your eyes lead.
Pause often. Sip tea, breathe, and enjoy the conversation that appears.
Seal the moment. Use the glue to preserve the piece, or store it in the bamboo capsule to return to later.

This is not a race. Our favorite feedback is, “I didn’t notice time passing.” That’s the point.

Why bamboo?

Bamboo is warm, light, and quietly elegant. It’s also a fast‑renewing natural material. We shape and finish our bamboo capsule to be kept not discarded so your set lives as an object you’ll want to return to and display. Think of it as the final frame for your ritual.

Art first: our collaborations

We partner with artists whose work carries emotion at a glance. Each edition credits the artist clearly and fairly. We believe in sharing value: artists receive royalties for every set sold (typically around 5-10%). When you choose DAILE, you support living creators and help fund new works.

Your story, your piece: personalisation

Some gifts should be unmistakably yours. Our Personalised Puzzle option lets you turn a meaningful photo or design into a DAILE quality art ritual complete with capsule, story card, and all the tactile details. It’s a way to archive weddings, travels, and tiny, perfect moments that deserve a second life on your wall.

Thoughtful materials, lasting design

We design for longevity: sturdy board, durable finishes, and components meant to be kept and reused. A well‑made object is the simplest form of sustainability it stays in your life. Our packaging is optimized to protect the art while minimizing waste, and we continue to refine materials with each run.

Inside the studio

DAILE is built in Riga by a small team of designers, printmakers, and perfectionists. We obsess over color profiles, edge tolerances, and the feel of each piece in hand. Before a set ships, it passes a simple test: Would we be proud to gift this to someone we love? If not, we fix it.

The perfect gift (that becomes a memory)

A DAILE set is ideal for birthdays, weddings, housewarmings, quiet weekends, and long winter evenings. It’s easy to give and even easier to enjoy together. Most importantly, it doesn’t end when the box is opened it begins.

“Moments become timeless when we decide to notice them.”

How to choose your first DAILE set

For a calm evening: pick artworks with soft, muted palettes.
For a lively group: go bold contrasts and rich textures make a social build.
For a keepsake: choose Personalised to turn a memory into art.

If you’re unsure, start with our signature edition; it was designed to suit almost any home and mood.
