Studio Amebe was founded in 2008 by Italian designers Alessandra Mantovani and Eleonora Barbareschi. Their ironic, conceptual work combines advanced technology with refined handcraft and moves between collectible design, industrial products and site-specific installations, marked by a distinctly pop sensibility. The duo exhibits internationally and has received numerous design awards.
For Riva 1920 they designed the Giacinto Bench, a single block of solid cedar shaped like a buttoned mattress, set on glass or iron legs, and the Mondana Stool, a single block of scented cedar inspired by the handbag.
