About 4N4 Design - Gla Gla Puzzle Educativo
Per creare un souvenir distintamente croato per l'isola di Krk, i designer hanno ideato un puzzle che insegna ai giocatori l'antica scrittura glagolitica come appare sulla lapide di Baška (risalente al 1100 d.C.). I pezzi del puzzle sono realizzati in legno di ulivo, coltivato sull'isola di Krk fin dall'antica Grecia. Gla Gla condensa migliaia di anni di cultura in un gioco che permette agli utenti di ricomporre frammenti di storia croata dell'isola di Krk e ricombinarli in nuove storie e parole in qualsiasi lingua.

- 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.
