The Design
About 4N4 Design - Gla Gla Vzdělávací puzzle
Při vytváření typicky chorvatského suvenýru pro ostrov Krk přišli designéři s puzzle, které hráče učí starověké hlaholici, jak se objevuje na Bašćanské desce (datované do roku 1100 n. l.). Díly puzzle jsou vyrobeny z olivovníků, které na ostrově Krk rostou od dob starověkého Řecka. Gla Gla kondenzuje tisíce let kultury do hry, která umožňuje uživatelům poskládat kousky chorvatské historie z ostrova Krk a přeskládat je do nových příběhů a slov v jakémkoliv jazyce.

- Research
- The characteristics of the olive tree as a very solid wood have been carefully selected for its durability, and its Christian symbolism connects the wooden puzzle with town of Krk and Island Krk heritage.
The waterproof MDF was chosen for its exceptional durability, but also for the visual impression of fibrous wood. - Inspiration
- The Tourist Board of the Croatian town of Krk awarded the Gla Gla label of the original town of Krk souvenir and is marked with the recognition A Gift From Krk.
A Gift From Krk is a kind of representation of the town, showing a reflection of the continuity of its artistic, cultural and historical heritage, and at the same time, presenting its tangible, intangible and natural heritage. - Project Duration
- Project started in January 2020 and finished in March 2020 in Zagreb, and was exhibited in Zagreb Design Week in August 2020 in Croatia.
- Operation Flow
- By opening the box, 25 Glagolitic letters cut from an olive tree are revealed, under which there are Latin letters for easier memory and connection of not only the form, but also the meaning. The outlines of the letters can be drawn on paper and thus form the first Glagolitic words.
