Collection: De Rerum Natura

De Rerum Natura (Latin; On The Nature of Things) is inspired by a first-century poem from Roman poet and philosopher Lucretius.

In her own words, the founder of De Rerum Natura writes, "In the Lucretian view, everything in nature is part of a whole and nothing comes from nothing or disappears. When I sought to understand where the yarn I was knitting came from and what impact it had on the world, I realized that, as Lucretius invited us to do, I was seeking to perceive this yarn as "a thing of nature" and not as a product, anonymous, inert and falsely inconsequential.

By taking an interest in the life of sheep, in the specificities of their wool, in the know-how and the reality of the daily life of the breeders, in the complex stages of the work of the wool from the raw material to the yarn and then to the work of creating colours, patterns, to the hands of the knitter, I had the impression of being able to recreate a link of harmony between human beings and these marvels of nature that are the wool of the sheep or the fibres such as the linen that we can knit. Yarns that would be "things of nature" and that would invite us to question the "nature of things" that surround us."
