About:
The ISHINOMAKI STOOL was specially designed at a series of furniture-making workshops intended for locals and primary school students, in collaboration with the US furniture company Herman Miller. Members from ISHINOMAKI LAB examined what was missing in temporary housing in the area, and found that both a step stool for accessing storage in high-up places and a chair for putting on shoes near the house entrance were needed.

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.

ISHINOMAKI LAB by HLZFR GMBH is in the process of expanding their portfolio of products by Ishinomaki Laboratory (Made in Local).
