About the project
About the collective
Ebe is the alter ego of Allegra, Giulia and Benedetta, it’s the expression of our journey towards a circular design thinking. Our stories have a common starting point, coming all from the same artistic high-school in Lake Como, which then separated following different directions leading us to Zurich, Paris, Milan. After years of experimenting different perspectives and environments from sustainability, to art direction, to interior architecture, our paths crossed again, merging together by the shared passion for materials recovery and reuse within the creative sector.
About your approach
We love exploring the multifunctionality of discarded materials, looking into reuse alternatives in order to give materials longevity and different applications than what the material was originally meant for. Whether it’s a textile leftover, stock, sample or by-product we investigate the material potentials in order to avoid a value loss, ending up into landfill, incinerator or a forgotten warehouse. The involvement of craftsmen, local artists and social cooperatives provides additional value to the projects. They all take part to this process toward a mind-changing system.
