The Japan Foundation, Manila x 石巻工房 Ishinomaki Laboratory
Art Direction, Event thingsI was given the opportunity to help out with Ishinomaki Laboratory ’s 2018 Manila visit. Pretty fortunate for me to have been part of this because I’m a huge fan of the furniture design studio. Their main philosophy on empowering people to design and build on their own (and for their community) is something I truly believe in.
The visual direction for this year’s event was inspired by the thoughtful simplicity of Ishinomaki Laboratory’s work—always purposeful about form and function.

Simple wayfinding was implemented, as it was necessary to direct people to the venue within a large compound. High contrast monochrome A3 posters were made, with a desktop printer available on-site.

The ‘DIY + Design’ theme of Ishinomaki Laboratory’s work trickled down to the execution of the zine-catalog we produced, in collaboration with risograph studio, Bad Student Press. It was intended to feel like an assemblage, each piece working on its own and together as bound by a fastener.
