Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Murano glass studio 6AM has transformed Milan's abandoned rationalist Piscina Guido Romano pool house into an exhibition space for design week. The exhibition, titled "Over and Over and Over and Over," features the studio's glass furniture and objects, including candy-like glass cubes originally created for a Bottega Veneta fashion show. The title emphasizes the importance of repetition in artisanal glassmaking, and the installation breathes new life into the historic modernist architecture.
