Design: TORAFU ARCHITECTS (torafu.com)
Notes:
-Due to the characteristics of solid wood, there may be scratches on the surface that cannot be completely removed by sanding.
-Red cedar is characterized by its uneven color. It can be broadly divided into brown, white, and reddish varieties. Depending on the procurement situation, there may be differences in color for each piece of material, but we hope you will enjoy the unique color of red cedar.
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.
