More about Studio [K] - LaoDai
Founded by LaoDai and Ayame Iwata, Studio [K] was the first public rope studio in Mainland China. The project began with public rope events in 2016, opened its first studio in 2017, and later became a rope bar and community space. Although the original venue closed in 2021 due to China's COVID restrictions, Studio [K] continues in a new form.
Today, Studio [K] is based in a traditional Thai wooden house in Bangkok, offering a quiet and private space dedicated to kinbaku. LaoDai provides private sessions, photo shoots, and one-to-one classes for all levels, creating an intimate environment where people can explore rope, improve their skills, or simply enjoy a unique experience.

A Japanese rope bottom based in Taiwan. Ayame started her rope journey in 2011.
