For the second consecutive year Cascina Cuccagna returns to host De Rerum Natura, the project curated by Matteo Ragni Design Studio.This year’s theme, 500 years after the death of Leonardo da Vinci, is “Renaissance”.

“Renaissance” is the theme that is investigated and explored through an exhibition whose protagonists are the designers who responded to the call for exhibitors of De Rerum Natura: Apepak, Closca, Essent’ial, Kaldewei, Leifheit Italia, Martina Fuchshuber, MiMoto, Naples 2035, Robonica and Styl’editions.

Every year De Rerum Natura hosts a space for cultural deepening, dedicated to a theme, conceived and developed by an independent curator. For the 2019 edition, “Design Collisions – The power of collective ideas”, a small exhibition that brings together great ideas created in communities for communities.
The curator Laura Traldi is a journalist for D La Repubblica and founder of www.designatlarge.it.
For the ten days, De Rerum Natura Rinascimento offers different occasions for meeting and contamination in the unique and evocative settings of Cascina Cuccagna, chosen by Fuorisalone as a privileged location to present sustainable design projects. Among these: Hacking Couture workshop “Making Your Own Prada”; the Design Talk with Apepak, the 100% natural food wrapping that replaces the use of plastic in the kitchen and “Careables On Air” the meeting about the co-design methodology for health care, developed by OpenDot and TOG Foundation.
