ISHINOMAKI STOOL by Karimoku
The Ishinomaki Stool was created after the earthquake, when temporary housing needed a step stool or a chair for putting on shoes. In designing it, members of Ishinomaki Laboratory researched the current state of temporary housing and noticed that many people used beer crates as a step stool when putting their belongings in the top drawer (the shelf above the closet) or as a chair for putting on shoes at the entrance, so they decided to create a compact and light stool. The light and compact design, which can be placed both indoors and outdoors, is now used in a wide range of situations such as homes, offices, and cafes, and has become Ishinomaki Laboratory's representative work. The redesign, which incorporates Karimoku's technology, is made of slim parts while retaining its original appearance. It is now a size that can be used in a more space-saving manner, and the development of a color-painted version adds an even fresher impression. Ishinomaki Laboratory was established in 2011 with the aim of recovering from the earthquake. Even though the memories of the earthquake have faded, the lives of people in the affected areas will continue. To continue and further develop their activities, Ishinomaki Laboratory has partnered with Karimoku, a leading Japanese wooden furniture manufacturer, for a new step forward. Ishinomaki Laboratory by Karimoku takes the rough and powerful image of Ishinomaki Laboratory's products and uses Karimoku's advanced woodworking and painting techniques to bring out new appeal through precise construction and modern coloring while still taking advantage of the original qualities. This makes it easier to incorporate the products into spaces with different styles than before, greatly expanding the scope of their use. Karimoku is working to address the issues facing Japan's forests, such as the sustainable use of domestic timber, and the resulting forest conservation and revitalization of the forestry industry. Ishinomaki Laboratory's products are characterized by their design, which can be used with any material, based on the original idea of "making do with the materials at hand." This collaboration will actively utilize wood that is not normally considered suitable for furniture use, such as scraps generated during production at Karimoku's factories, a variety of hardwoods that have not been used much due to limited commercial demand, and wood that has insect bites or holes drilled by woodpeckers and other birds. Ishinomaki Laboratory by Karimoku aims to contribute to a rich society that accepts diversity by utilizing materials that were difficult for Karimoku to use through Ishinomaki Laboratory by Karimoku products, including the stories surrounding them. Ishinomaki Laboratory's original version is also available. Ishinomaki Laboratory | Ishinomaki Stool Source: https://flymee.jp/
