ISHINOMAKI LABORATORY X CUSHCUSH
Back in 2011, Ishinomaki Laboratory started as a small community workshop in Japan — a way to help people rebuild after the Great East Japan Earthquake. They started by holding DIY workshops for local residents and helping restore— rebuilding not just structures, but hope and a sense of community. From the beginning, Ishinomaki Laboratory believed that “doing it yourself” doesn’t mean doing it alone. Making a community strong is just as vital as making strong furniture. Made in Local initiative began with a simple idea — to bring Ishinomaki Laboratory’s designs and philosophy into new contexts through collaboration with local makers, materials, and markets. One of the selected partner is CushCush in Bali Indonesia. Staying true to the concept of ‘Made in Local’, the Ishinomaki Laboratory furniture is crafted by CushCush, using locally sourced reclaimed Teakwood from old Javanese ‘Joglo’ and other wooden houses.
