On March 11, 2011, ISHINOMAKI LABORATORY was founded to make simple furniture with a single goal: to rebuild our community that was devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami.
ISHINOMAKI LABORATORY began as a communal facility in the coastal
city of Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture where local residents could access materials and tools for their repair projects in the wake of the disaster. Over time, the value and appeal of artisanal furniture became increasingly evident, and the company was established to bring our handmade products beyond northeast Japan.
Making a community great is just as important as making great furniture.
