ISHINOMAKI LABORATORY started in 2011 as a public workshop for the local communitydevastated by the tsunami triggered by the Great East Japan Earthquake.The label was launched to market the products beyond the local community. Talented designers, from Japan and abroad, work together with the ISHINOMAKI LAB team. Through their activities, the belief is that DIY and design can energizepeople 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.

The MADE IN LOCAL initiative started to bring ISHINOMAKI LAB’s designs and story to a local context, and has since grown to encompass a more thorough relationship with people (local makers and market), place (locally-available materials), and product. Made in Local projects are currently located in Berlin, Detroit,Londonand Manila.
