The Design

About 4N4 Design - Gla Gla Pang-edukasyong Palaisipan

Sa paglikha ng natatanging pasalubong na Croatian para sa pulo ng Krk, bumuo ang mga designer ng palaisipan na nagtuturo sa mga manlalaro ng sinaunang Glagolitic scripture gaya ng nakasulat sa Baska stone tablet (mula noong 1100 AD). Ang mga piraso ng palaisipan ay yari sa kahoy ng mga puno ng olibo, na tumutubo sa pulo ng Krk mula pa noong sinaunang Greece. Ang Gla Gla ay nagtitipon ng libu-libong taon ng kultura sa isang laro na nagbibigay-daan sa mga gumagamit na pagsama-samahin ang mga piraso ng kasaysayan ng Croatia mula sa pulo ng Krk at muling pagsamahin ang mga ito upang bumuo ng mga bagong kuwento at salita sa anumang wika.

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.
