Design: Naoya Misawa
Born in Tokyo in 1983, Naoya Misawa attended Musashino Art University, studying interior design. After graduation, Naoya joined his alma mater as a research associate and then spent some time at the Cité Internationale des Arts as a researcher. Currently, he is working at the design firm Field Four in Tokyo. His main awards include the Ishinomaki Laboratory Design Competition Award, as well as coming in second place for Denmark’s Erik Jorgensen Design Award 2011, and first place for the 8th Gandia Blasco International Outdoor Furniture Design Competition in Spain.

 

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.

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.

As the world’s first DIY label, Ishinomaki Laboratory is expanding the world & potential of DIY with good design. Through their activities, the belief is that DIY and design can energise people and communities – and life as a whole – in any situation or environment. The hope is that people around the world can rediscover their own innate creativity, to enrich everyday life and society for a more fulfilling future.
