About 4N4 Design - Gla Gla Puzzle Edukativ

Gjatë krijimit të një kujtese karakteristike kroate për ishullin e Krk-ut, dizajnerët krijuan një puzzle që u mëson lojtarëve shkrimin e lashtë glagolitik siç shfaqet në pllakën gurore të Baskës (që daton nga viti 1100 pas Krishtit). Copat e puzzle-it janë të bëra nga druri i ullirit, të rritur në ishullin e Krk-ut që nga Greqia e lashtë. Gla Gla përqendron mijëra vjet kulture në një lojë që u lejon përdoruesve të bashkojnë copa të historisë kroate nga ishulli i Krk-ut dhe t'i rikombinojnë ato në histori dhe fjalë të reja në çdo gjuhë.

Production Technology: Black MDF and olive tree boards are cut and milled on CNC machine. Boards are protected with linseed oil. MDF boards are connected together with magnetic plates.
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.
