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, Ishinomaki Laboratory participated in restoring and renovating local shops – as well as creating spaces where people could reimagine the future of the city together.
As the world’s first DIY label, Ishinomaki Laboratory is expanding the world & potential of DIY with good design.
Combining good design with “handmade” products, the Ishinomaki Laboratory label was launched to market the products beyond the local community. Talented designers, from Japan and abroad, work together with the Ishinomaki Laboratory team to create a lineup of furniture and items that can be enjoyed together.
Our Ishinomaki Laboratory products are Handmade in Berlin by HLZFR. GMBH with wood from German sustainable forestry (FSC Certificate).
