The Design
About 4N4 Design - Gla Gla Pedagogisk puslespill
Da designerne skulle skape en særpreget kroatisk suvenir for øya Krk, utviklet de et puslespill som lærer spillerne den gamle glagolittiske skriften slik den fremstår på Baška-steintavlen (fra år 1100 e.Kr.). Puslespillbrikkene er laget av oliventrær som har vokst på øya Krk siden det antikke Hellas. Gla Gla kondenserer tusenvis av år med kultur inn i et spill som lar brukerne sette sammen biter av kroatisk historie fra øya Krk og rekombinere dem til nye historier og ord på hvilket som helst språk.

- 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.
