About 4N4 Design - Gla Gla 教育拼图
在为克尔克岛打造极具克罗地亚特色的纪念品时，设计师们创作了一款拼图游戏，教授玩家巴什卡石碑（可追溯至公元1100年）上呈现的古老格拉哥里文字。拼图块由橄榄木制成，这些橄榄树自古希腊时期便生长在克尔克岛上。Gla Gla将数千年的文化浓缩于一款游戏中，让使用者能够拼凑克尔克岛的克罗地亚历史片段，并将其重新组合成任何语言的新故事和词汇。

- 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.
