In the early 1900s, hidden away in France’s industrial heart, men worked in rooms so punishing they’ve almost been erased from memory. Known as grinding rooms, these workshops forced workers to lie face-down for hours, breathing in toxic glass dust while pushing their bodies to the breaking point. 💔
It was grueling, it was dangerous — yet it was the only way to survive. Their sacrifice, nearly forgotten, remains etched in every piece of glass that still reflects our world today.
