The project “Constructivist Sculptural Puzzle” is a digitally modelled and 3D-printed puzzle that reinterprets Avgust Černigoj’s constructivist portrait of Srečko Kosovel. It transforms a two-dimensional artwork into a physical, three-dimensional object, offering a new approach to image assembly.

The puzzle is divided into a grid of square pieces, departing from the usual logic of conventional jigsaw puzzles with unique cut-out shapes and complex interlocking forms. Here, the assembly process is guided by height transitions across the relief surface. These spatial differences help the user recognise possible connections, while the raised portrait and recessed outer edge provide additional orientation within a detachable rectangular frame. The frame allows the object to be compactly disassembled and stored in a small pouch.
The final object was developed through an exploratory digital and physical process that allows different motifs to be adapted using the same underlying method. The 3D-printing settings were optimised after the completion of the digital model in order to achieve the highest possible surface quality. The square-grid format ensures the repeatability of the digital process and gives the puzzle the function of a prototype for future mould-making and production in other materials. The project connects contemporary digital tools with the constructivist logic of the product: simple components, a clear function and the potential for affordable production.
