About 4N4 Design - Gla Gla Hariduslik Pusle

Krk saare jaoks eriomase Horvaatia suveniiri loomisel töötasid disainerid välja pusle, mis õpetab mängijatele iidset glagoolitsa kirja, nagu see esineb Baška tahvlil (pärineb aastast 1100 pKr). Pusletükid on valmistatud Krk saarel Vana-Kreeka aegadest saati kasvanud õlipuudest. Gla Gla koondab tuhanded aastad kultuuri mängu, mis võimaldab kasutajatel kokku panna Krk saare Horvaatia ajaloo fragmente ja kombineerida need uuteks lugudeks ja sõnadeks igas keeles.

Design Challenge
Learning Glagolitic script and designing typography for industrial production. Magnet connection.
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.
