MABEF
MABEF is a family-owned Italian company renowned for crafting high-quality artists’ easels since 1948. The business was founded by skilled cabinet-maker and painter Albino Bruno Mariotto and his wife Rita in the lakeside town of Ispra, Italy, where they began producing handcrafted wooden easels for artists. As demand grew, the company expanded its workshop and began exporting internationally with the help of the next generation of the Mariotto family. By 1975 the company adopted the name M.A.B.E.F. (Mariotto Albino Bruno & Figli), establishing the brand as a global name in artists’ equipment.
Still based in northern Italy today, MABEF combines traditional woodworking craftsmanship with modern innovation, using high-quality solid beech wood sourced from responsibly managed forests. Known for their durability and thoughtful design, MABEF easels are trusted by artists around the world and are backed by a lifetime guarantee—reflecting the company’s long-standing commitment to quality, sustainability and Italian craftsmanship.
