Light box by dresswall
from £6,000
People usually forget about the ceiling when they’re designing a space, but honestly, it’s what sets the mood. We wanted something that could shape the atmosphere without making the room look busy. Light by Dresswall nailed it.
This piece pulls double duty—it lights the room and controls sound, all in one element. No need to cram in extra gear or layer on technical stuff. The tunable white lighting shifts with the day, so you get brighter, energetic light when you need it, and then a softer glow for calmer moments. Plus, the acoustic panel cuts down on echo and sharpens the sound.
What really hooked us was the discipline behind it. It’s bold but not flashy, with crisp lines and a finish that feels right. It doesn’t try to outshine the rest of the interior—it grounds it. So instead of a ceiling that feels like an afterthought, you get a feature that’s clearly meant to be there, holding the design together and setting the right tone.
At Abitalia South Coast, we present the Dresswall as part of our curated collection of designer ceiling lighting, available to clients across Dorset, Hampshire and Surrey from our Poole showroom. Come in and see what a difference the ceiling can make.

What ‘Made to Order’ Means at Abitalia
At Abitalia, made to order means exactly that. The furniture, kitchens, wardrobes, sofas, lighting and architectural elements we supply are not held in stock or produced in bulk. Each piece is manufactured specifically for a client once a project has been designed and confirmed.
Our collections are produced by specialist manufacturers and craftspeople across Europe, many of whom have been refining their techniques for generations. Every item is built to the agreed dimensions, finishes and specifications for your project.
Bespoke Design and Personalisation
Most projects require some level of personalisation. This may be as simple as selecting a specific finish or fabric, or it may involve adjusting dimensions, layouts or internal configurations.
During the design process we work closely with clients to refine these details so that the finished pieces integrate properly with the architecture and overall interior scheme. The goal is always the same: to produce something that fits the space precisely and feels considered rather than standardised.
How to Place an Order
We do not operate as an online retailer with instant checkout. Our work begins with a conversation.
Clients typically visit the showroom or contact our design team to discuss the project. We then guide you through the available collections, materials and finishes before preparing drawings and quotations. Once the design and specification are approved, the order is placed into production.
Lead Times and Delivery
Because items are manufactured to order, lead times are longer than off-the-shelf furniture. Production times vary depending on the manufacturer and the complexity of the piece, but we provide clear guidance at the time of order and keep clients updated throughout the process.
When the items arrive in the UK, we coordinate delivery and installation so everything arrives safely and as expected.
Returns and Cancellations
As products are made specifically for each client, standard UK cancellation rights for distance selling do not apply once production has begun.
However, if a product arrives damaged, faulty, or not as specified, we will of course resolve the issue promptly in line with our obligations under UK consumer law.
Visiting Our Showroom
Our Poole showroom displays a curated selection of kitchens, wardrobes, furniture and materials from our partner manufacturers. While most pieces are produced to order, the showroom allows clients to experience the quality, finishes and design principles behind the collections we work with.
Working With Abitalia
Our role is to guide clients through the design and specification process and to coordinate the manufacturing and delivery of carefully considered interior elements.
