FunLab Torino
Adults-only BDSM education space and private practice venue whose rope program includes multi-level group lessons of four hours, two-hour private lessons offered daily, and self-tying and self-suspension courses. It hosts the free weekly Monday rope evening run with Shibari Torino.
FunLab Torino describes itself as a dungeon, multipurpose space and BDSM school for consenting adults, with consent, communication and respect at its center and equipment that is regularly inspected and maintained. Beyond rope it offers BDSM courses and workshops, orientation sessions for newcomers, guided practice, events and an LGBTQIA+ safe zone. According to the Shibari Torino website, its teacher Marco, known as Black Angel, opened FunLab’s shibari school and began teaching there in 2020.
Rope lessons
Shibari lessons pair a theory part on safety with practice of knots and ties. Private lessons are offered every day, in morning and afternoon-to-evening slots, as two-hour modules that can be built into a personal path. Multilevel group lessons last four hours on a Saturday each month; dates listed for late 2026 and early 2027 include 14 November, 12 December and several in January and February. The program runs from basic single and double ties through harnesses and futomomo to more complex ties, including takate kote variations, and on to suspension work on bamboo and rings and hashira. The teachers listed are Marco (as Angelo Oscuro), a rigger since 2013 who works in Western and Japanese styles, and Logan Leiden, a rope bottom, rigger and bondage model since 2018 who specializes in self-suspension.
FunLab supplies rope, shears and other materials for students without their own, and can arrange a volunteer partner if asked in advance. Lessons are for adults only, and sexual activity and nudity are not part of them. Corde del Lunedì, a weekly Monday bondage evening, starts at 21:00; all events require advance booking, and ID is checked at the door.
