The design concept of Renai Art Lab revolves around the idea of curves, graceful, fluid lines that evoke a sense of movement and energy. The large curved wall mimic the organic shapes found in nature, providing comfort and flexibility for students to work in various positions and angles. At the heart of the studio, a large whiteboard stretches across one wall, waiting to be transformed into a masterpiece. The canvas itself curves gently, mirroring the fluid lines of the furniture and accentuating the sense of movement and dynamism in the space.
