If you've been putting off getting a proper easel, a solid wooden storage box or a dedicated creative desk, this is your moment.

What's included

Mabef Easels

Mabef is an Italian easel brand with a long reputation for quality, stability and craftsmanship. The full Mabef range is on sale, including tripod easels, studio easels, floor easels and desk easels. Whether you're setting up a home studio, upgrading from a lightweight easel or looking for something that will genuinely last, Mabef is worth a serious look.

Mabef easels are used by professional artists and serious hobbyists who want a stable, well-built working surface that doesn't wobble, tip or frustrate.

Mont Marte Easels

Mont Marte easels offer excellent value for students, hobbyists and home studio artists. Two of our top sellers are included in the sale:

Other Mont Marte easels are also included - tripod, studio, floor and desk styles across the range.

Mont Marte Creative Art Station

The Mont Marte Creative Art Station, also known as a creative art desk, is one of our most talked-about products. It combines a tilting work surface, built-in storage and a compact footprint into one dedicated creative workspace. If you've been working at a kitchen table or makeshift desk, this is a proper upgrade.

It suits illustrators, students, hobbyists, home studio artists and anyone who wants their supplies organised and their workspace set up properly. As a creative desk, it works beautifully for drawing, painting, illustration and craft.

Wooden Storage Boxes

Selected wooden art storage boxes are also on sale. A good wooden box keeps your supplies organised, protected and portable. These are popular with artists who work across multiple mediums and need a reliable way to store and transport their tools.

Why upgrade your easel setup during EOFYS?

A proper easel changes how you paint. Working upright or at the right angle reduces fatigue, improves your view of the work and gives you more control. If you've been painting flat on a table or using a small tabletop easel, moving to a full studio easel is one of the most noticeable upgrades you can make.

Mabef and Mont Marte easels do not go on sale often. With up to 33% off during EOFYS, this is a good opportunity to invest in your studio properly.

Not sure which easel to choose?

  • Want a professional Italian-made easel? Go straight to Mabef.
  • Setting up a home studio on a budget? Mont Marte studio floor easels are a strong value option.
  • Work in watercolour or like to change your angle? The Mont Marte Tilting Studio Easel that lies flat is built for you.
  • Need a creative desk or dedicated art workspace? The Mont Marte Creative Art Station is the one to look at.
  • Want to keep your supplies organised? Grab a wooden storage box while they're on sale.

Pair your easel with the right supplies

While EOFYS is on, it makes sense to stock up on canvases, paints and brushes at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best easel for a home studio in Australia?

For a home studio, a full-size floor easel with castor wheels gives you the most flexibility. The Mont Marte Large Studio Floor Easel and the Mabef Studio Easel range are both excellent options, depending on your budget. Mabef offers Italian craftsmanship and long-term durability, while Mont Marte provides strong value for students and hobbyists.

What is the difference between a tripod easel and a studio easel?

A tripod easel has three legs and is lightweight and portable, making it good for plein air painting and classes. A studio easel is heavier, more stable and designed for consistent indoor use. Studio easels typically hold larger canvases and offer more height and angle adjustment options.

Are Mabef easels worth the investment?

Yes. Mabef easels are made in Italy and built to last. They are used by professional artists and serious hobbyists who want stability, quality and longevity. If you paint regularly and want an easel that will not wobble, flex or wear out quickly, Mabef is one of the best options available.

What is a creative art station or creative art desk?

A creative art station, also called a creative art desk, is a dedicated workspace that combines a tilting drawing and painting surface with built-in storage for art supplies. The Mont Marte Creative Art Station is designed for artists, illustrators, students and hobbyists who want an organised, purpose-built space for creative work at home.

What easel is best for watercolour painting?

For watercolour, an easel that tilts or lies flat is ideal, as watercolour requires controlling the flow of water across the paper. The Mont Marte Tilting Studio Easel, which can lie completely flat, is a popular choice for watercolour artists.

What are wooden art storage boxes used for?

Wooden art storage boxes are used to store, organise and transport art supplies, including brushes, pencils, paints, pastels and other tools. They are popular with artists who work across multiple mediums and want a durable, portable solution for keeping their supplies in order.

Does Art Shed ship easels and studio furniture Australia-wide?

Yes. Art Shed ships easels, creative art stations, wooden storage boxes and studio essentials to all states and territories across Australia from our Victorian and Brisbane warehouses. We also stock easels in our Moorabbin and West End stores for customers who prefer to shop in person.

Can I buy a Mabef easel in Melbourne?

Yes. Mabef easels are available in store at Art Shed Moorabbin in Melbourne, as well as online at artshedonline.com.au with Australia-wide shipping.
