Textile Design Adoptions. Adopting silk production from San Leucio to innovate

The University of Campania and the Setificio Leuciano collaborated, during 2016, on the project "Textile design adoptions. Adopting the San Leucio silk production to innovate ", the final result was the realization of an exhibition-event with video installations and prototypes of the works of the second year students of the Master Degree in Design for Innovation. The project proposes new scenarios for textiles in the fashion and interior design sectors. During the courses, students have been involved in product and process research innovation by reinterpreting the company's cultural and business identity. The Master Degree in Innovation Design promotes cooperation between universities and the productive and cultural local contexts by: research and scouting of manufacturing of excellence, the innovation processes for companies representing the local excellence, thanks to a method of design founded on contextual knowledge.
