The Furniture of Ishinomaki Laboratory
Design Koishikawa
Finished
SHARE
Ishinomaki Laboratory was first established as a community workshop for the residents of Ishinomaki, Miyagi to rebuild their livelihoods after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. With the support of designers and architects from Japan and abroad, in addition to established furniture brands, Ishinomaki Laboratory has now grown to become the world’s first “DIY maker” – driven by the belief that DIY and design have the power to empower individuals and communities. Embodying the spirit of self-reliance, the locally-run furniture label continues to spread their simply designed furniture to the world, which is based on the philosophy of using only dimensional lumber and basic tools.
This exhibition will show chronologically over 60 pieces of products created by Ishinomaki Laboratory since 2011, accompanied with texts based on interviews conducted with the people behind the brand. Throughout its six-year journey as a project for regional and community revitalization, we are constantly encouraged to consider the question “what is design?” as well as realize the importance of DIY (do-it-yourself) in living through tumultuous times.
