6:AM Glass Brand Breaks Murano Barriers with Milan Design Week Installation

The glass brand 6:AM, based in Milan and established by designer Edoardo Pandolfo and architect Francesco Palù, is set to unveil a large-scale installation titled "Over and Over and Over and Over" during Milan Design Week 2026 at Piscina Guido Romano, a historic swimming complex from the early 20th century. This initiative stands as their most ambitious endeavor yet, following a successful 2025 that featured their installation "Two-Fold Silence" in another abandoned swimming facility in Milan and a partnership with Bottega Veneta for its spring/summer 2026 collection. Specializing in custom Murano glass installations, the brand also creates furniture, lighting, and objects. Pandolfo and Palù first met in 2015 while collaborating on projects for architect Andrea Caputo, facing challenges in connecting with Murano artisans due to the island's exclusivity. Murano has been synonymous with Venetian glassmaking since the 13th century, often perceived as inaccessible, a sentiment echoed by Pandolfo, who found it distant even as a Venetian. Their success marks a significant milestone for a company that emerged from persistent efforts to engage traditional craftsmen.
