E Studio AMeBE deals with Interdisciplinary Design, combining commercial and client-based commissions, consultancies and education, with independent and artistic projects.
The award winning design studio based in Italy, operates on a wide range of projects, combining local resources with international opportunities, while being constantly contaminated by Italian style, the country's diversity and stimulating complexity.
In addition to being the acronym of the founders initials (A+M & B+E), the name is inspired by the ameba, the fascinating organism characterized by its continuous evolutions. The term Ameba, or rather Amoeba, is derived from Ancient Greek and means "change, transformation".

THE FOUNDERS
“We love giving birth to ideas that stimulate the sphere of feelings and emotions, while bringing irony and a critical perspective.”
The AMeBE, Alessandra Mantovani (1983) and Eleonora Barbareschi (1984), after several work experiences in Italy and abroad, decide to move back to Italy in July 2008 starting their own independent design studio.
Soon after the beginning of their collaboration, the product Finger-Dip, mono-use food-grade latex finger caps (designed and produced by the AMeBE) baptized their entrance in the design world. The products were entirely sold out and the AMeBE were awarded the Red Dot Product Design Award.
Among some satisfactions, collaborations with artist-designer Gaetano Pesce, with the Italian international design brands as RIVA1920, MODO and SELETTI, the Chinese furniture factory ADWIN, and different design awards as the Fedrigoni Top Awards, the Torino Digital Festival, or the Red Dot Concept Design Award in Singapore, all representative of the the AMeBE's interdisciplinary approach to design.
In 2016 the AMeBE present «Cupola, and light it was» a hyper-realistic reproduction of Saint Peter Basilica's dome in Rome, a lamp which blends craftsmanship and technology, a limited-edition lamp for Art and Design collectors, characterized by a strong poetic and emotional feel;
