KOKONO\u2122 was born after the Fondazione Giannino Bassetti called De-LAB to design a research project to develop a new object for the “Triennale XXIesima” exhibition, in the “New Craft” section. The design process led to the definition of an initial prototype, illustrated during the opening of the exhibition at the Design Museum of Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018 De-LAB, meanwhile registered as a Benefit Corporation, resumes the project and re-design it entirely in view of testing it on the field in Uganda, in July 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new process of product design leads to the definition of a complete different object, patented by De-LAB in Italy and abroad in order to secure some features specifically conceived to ensure social impacts in low-income communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December 2018 De-LAB applies for the grant \u201cInnovative Ideas for Development\u201d by the Italian Development Cooperation (AICS) and in August of the same year is selected amongst the winners of the grant for the Start-up cluster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 2019, KOKONO\u2122<\/strong> won the special prize at the Business Spirit Award in Dublin, organized by the organization Responsible Innovation Ireland and got enrolled in a training course in Business Development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2021 De-LAB launches a crowdfunding campaign supported by Infinity+, which helped the project by providing some rewards. The objective of the fundraising held on Produzioni dal Basso is to raise resources for the production of 100 cradles to be destined for the most remote areas of Uganda, where De-LAB distribution cannot physically reach. De-LAB rewards include Ugandan lullabies, postcards illustrated by the artist Camilla Falsini, and personalised cradle delivery videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March 2022, KOKONO<\/strong>\u2122 won the COOPEN call for proposals, organized by Compagnia di San Paolo and Fondazione Cariplo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
