Milan design studio 6:AM expands the current glassmaking research through a new series called Batch. Founders Edoardo Pandolfo and Francesco Palù presented the work during Milano Design Week 2026. The studio originally developed these blown glass elements alongside Bottega Veneta for the Summer 2026 runway show.
The project focuses entirely on a single geometric module. You observe a blown glass cube measuring exactly 43x43x43 centimeters. Artisans shape every piece using a heavy cast-iron mold. A CNC machine engraves this mold before the manual shaping begins. The workers apply a subtractive production method. The makers slowly reveal the final form through a process similar to traditional marble carving techniques.
The title Batch originates directly from standard glassmaking terminology. The word describes the raw material mixture loaded into the furnace prior to melting. The designers built a large physical installation to showcase the collection. A rigid steel structure holds 126 individual glass cubes together to create a massive vertical transparent wall dividing your living space. The glass features an undulating surface texture reflecting ambient light and distorting your visual perception. A specific sequence of colored glass elements sits at the center of the grid to interrupt the transparent field.
The brand name 6:AM references the morning hour workers light the furnaces on the island of Murano. The studio merges centuries-old empirical knowledge with contemporary aesthetics. You choose from ten specific color options including Cristallo, Terra, Rubino, Bianco, Verde Chiaro, Verde Antico, Ambra Scuro, Nero, Acciaio and Rosso. You buy the Batch collection right now directly through the official 6:AM online store.
