Handmade Italian easels, since 1948

Rebuilding MABEF in the U.S., direct to dealers

MABEF has made wooden easels and studio furniture in Italy since 1948. Artists, schools and institutions around the world choose them for stability, durability and easy assembly.

When U.S. distribution was disrupted, MABEF chose SAMPRO to rebuild the market. In 2025 we launched a direct-to-dealer program with MAP pricing so retailers can carry the line profitably, and Hammer Family Collections stocks MABEF in the U.S.
