About 4N4 Design - Gla Gla Puzzle Edukatif

Ketika menciptakan suvenir khas Kroasia untuk pulau Krk, para desainer menghadirkan puzzle yang mengajarkan pemain aksara Glagolitik kuno sebagaimana tertera pada prasasti batu Baska (berasal dari tahun 1100 Masehi). Kepingan puzzle terbuat dari pohon zaitun yang telah tumbuh di pulau Krk sejak zaman Yunani kuno. Gla Gla memadatkan ribuan tahun budaya ke dalam sebuah permainan yang memungkinkan pengguna menyusun potongan-potongan sejarah Kroasia dari pulau Krk dan mengombinasikannya kembali menjadi cerita dan kata-kata baru dalam bahasa apa pun.

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.

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.
