the studio
Abitalia has been designing beautiful homes since 2007. Our studio occupies a lovingly restored Victorian warehouse in Poole, reflecting our philosophy and approach to projects. We are known for our passion, precision, and attention to detail, qualities evident throughout our studio and work.
Our projects are as diverse as our clients, and our design style is defined by thoughtful details. We design and install as if each project were our own, a commitment that has fostered long-term client relationships and a strong reputation for excellence.
Through our partnership with PietraCasa, we integrate bespoke porcelain surfaces and expertly fabricated elements into our projects, combining Abitalia’s creative vision with PietraCasa’s technical expertise to deliver luxury, cohesive, and enduring interiors.
Frequently asked questions
Our projects vary from ‘supply only’ to complete project design and management. We have listed some of the more frequently asked questions
-
Our typical design fees are 10% of the schedule value and increase to 15% when providing project management.
-
No. We understand that the cost of something is a simple comparison to make when choosing a product or service. We also understand good design may look expensive.
We will always maintain the best cost vs quality. By isolating the ‘good’ level (supply only) from ‘better’, clients can easily compare our products with other suppliers. But where we excel is the detail and design. This has a value. If cost is the sole factor in your decision making process, we may not be the studio for you.
-
With the level of support we provide our clients, we tend to work within Dorset and Hampshire. Occasionally a special project or an existing client, has led us to work further afield, even internationally.
-
We work with two Italian brands with shared and unique characteristics. Both are made in Italy with a strong sense of design. Arredo3 is our entry product which is very competitive against UK high street brands, whereas Zampieri kitchens are a more tailored product. An entry kitchen would be circa £30,000, but in general our kitchen project value is closer to £75,000+

Our Sister Company
Around the time Abitalia opened its Dorset office, the tile industry saw three major technical advancements: digital printing, large-format, and thinner slab production. Porcelain has always been a feature in our projects, but these innovations have expanded the possibilities for design.
PietraCasa is part of a select group of companies that design, supply, and install large-format porcelain for bespoke furniture and projects, bringing technical expertise and creative precision to every installation.
