About 4N4 Design - Gla Gla Lærerigt Puslespil
Ved skabelsen af et karakteristisk kroatisk souvenir til øen Krk, udviklede designerne et puslespil, der lærer spillerne det antikke glagolitiske skriftsprog, som det fremstår på Baska-stentavlen (fra år 1100). Puslespilsbrikkerne er lavet af oliventræ fra træer, der har vokset på øen Krk siden det antikke Grækenland. Gla Gla kondenserer tusinder af års kultur i et spil, der giver brugerne mulighed for at samle fragmenter af kroatisk historie fra øen Krk og rekombinere dem til nye historier og ord på ethvert sprog.

- 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.
