About Ishinomaki Laboratory:
Founded in 2011, Ishinomaki Laboratory started as a simple, public workshop for the local community devastated by the tsunami triggered by the Great East Japan Earthquake. Along with running DIY workshops for residents affected by the disaster, they participated in restoring and renovating local shops – as well as creating spaces where people could reimagine the future of the city together.
With the help of global furniture manufacturer Herman Miller, a team of designers lead by architect Keiji Ashizawa, volunteered to help local residents of Sendai rebuild their property by donating materials and expertise. The result is products that are charmingly simple yet functional and attractive.
shinomaki Laboratory's creative indoor and outdoor designs which are supplied by emerging and established designers and then made locally by residents of Miyagi Prefecture, are now marketed beyond the local community.
Ishinomaki Laboratory was awarded the coveted 2012 Good Design Award in Japan.
