We are able to consider details such as floor finishes, lighting and architectural elements to deliver a coordinated and complete project that interprets furniture as a comprehensive experience.

luxury bathrooms

We have an excellent reputation for contemporary bathroom design, supply and installation. Our skill set includes wet rooms, steam rooms and saunas, and swimming pools. Our understanding of the aesthetic and technical characteristics enables the very best finish for our clients.

Our objective in working in partnership with our Italian bathroom brands such as Makro, Novello, Antonio Lupi, CEA Design and Gessi, is to design timeless bathrooms of substance. We mitre and resin all external corners, and use hidden linear drains as standard. We are certified Schluter Systems installers, guaranteeing the quality of workmanship and materials against exposure to moisture.

    All designers have a responsibility to consider the environmental impact that their designs have. The bathroom is one area where sustainability is a serious consideration. From the use of materials for the construction to the quality and control of water. We consider sustainability from the outset of the design process, selecting only brands with the same ‘green’ approach and brands that are interested in the lifespan of a product. We endeavour to design our bathrooms with a timeless quality that last.

  • Italian furniture design

    By definition the Italian’s have style that is rich in culture and heritage. Contemporary design doesn't ignore the past, but rather acknowledges it with details, materials and finishes. It’s then how to layer these materials within the architecture to create spaces that are tactile and emotional. This is our skill. We have extensive knowledge of what is available within the market and how to deliver beautiful spaces that are timeless.

outdoor living

We work and live in a beautiful part of the United Kingdom. From the South Downs National Park, heading west through the New Forest, to the beautiful beaches of Bournemouth and the Jurassic coast beyond, the outdoor lifestyle is an integral part of our lives. Outdoor spaces have become another room of the house, a blurring of lines between open and closed. With this in mind, we have selected the very best European brands for outdoor furniture, private wellness and entertaining.

Abitalia South Coast design, supply and install outdoor kitchens from Zampieri and Talenti. We also work with Effe saunas, CEA Design for outdoor showers and PietraCasa for outdoor porcelain. While the outdoor lifestyle is so enriching, we understand exposure to the elements can be demanding, so we have carefully considered which brands we work with to ensure the very best technical performance without compromising the design.

We often collaborate with architects, garden designers and landscapers to create beautiful outdoor spaces for living. Below is a small selection of the outdoor furniture we represent.

  • Architectural Profiles

    A beautiful engineered aluminium system that addresses the two foundations of architecture and interiors. On the one hand, the structural element, the one marking and defining spaces. On the other hand, the finishing element, internal or external, that is responsible for a space’s emotional factor.

    ‘Traditionally joined to masonry, finishing and covering elements become technique and, in modern architectural language, true second skin to a space, applied to grant flexibility and lightness’ - Dresswall
