For a decade, Edoardo Pandolfo and Francesco Palù, the founders of the Milanese studio 6:AM, have operated under a self-imposed discipline of \"never saying no.\" This philosophy is particularly grueling given their chosen medium: Murano glass. Unlike wood or metal, which allow for a degree of deliberation, molten glass is governed by the physics of cooling. Once the material is hot, the clock starts; a maker has perhaps twenty minutes to execute a vision before the window of opportunity closes.
This sense of urgency and precision is the foundation of their latest exhibition, \"Over and Over and Over and Over,\" recently unveiled at the Piscina Romano during Salone del Mobile. The installation centers on the concept of repetition—not as industrial monotony, but as a meditative process. For Pandolfo and Palù, the act of redrawing and reworking a concept is a \"mantra\" required to find focus within a material that demands absolute certainty.
The centerpiece of the show, a towering wall of modular \"Batch\" glass cubes, illustrates the studio's broader ambition: to push glass beyond the realm of the decorative object and into the architectural. By stacking these glowing units, 6:AM blurs the line between furniture and structural design. It is a testament to the idea that through the rigorous repetition of a single element, a specialist craft can achieve a monumental scale.
