The year 2025 marks a major milestone for Bilotta Kitchen & Home — our 40th anniversary. But this year is about more than just honoring our legacy. It also celebrates our future, with the launch of all-new displays across each of our four showrooms. One of the most remarkable transformations took place at our A&D Building showroom in New York City, where tradition and innovation come together in a jaw-dropping new luxury kitchen display.
A Designer’s Vision and Handcrafted Cabinetry
This display is a masterful reimagining of a classic white and blue inset kitchen, reinterpreted with thoughtful, contemporary twists. Every element speaks to our ongoing commitment to excellence, starting with the handcrafted custom cabinetry.
All of the cabinetry is part of our exclusive Bilotta Collection, handcrafted in our partner workshop in Pennsylvania. Built with solid 1-inch thick doors and beautifully detailed walnut dovetail drawers, the cabinetry reflects the kind of craftsmanship that has become synonymous with our name. The perimeter cabinets are painted in Benjamin Moore’s White Diamond and finished with Armac Martin’s MIX Collection hardware. In a refined play of textures, some of the knobs and pulls are finished in satin brass, while others are set in satin nickel plates. The traditional exposed hinges tie in beautifully with the warm brass accents throughout the room, bringing a sense of cohesion and timelessness.
Bold Design and Functional Features
In contrast to the airy white of the perimeter, the island makes a bold statement in Benjamin Moore’s After Midnight. Attached to the back of the island is a custom curved built-in banquette that comfortably seats three to four people. This creates not only a cozy dining nook but also a graceful architectural element. At the center of the banquette is an oval table with a surface of Compac’s Unique Calacatta in a Glacé finish. This special technique layers a thin, translucent glaze over the surface to create a rich depth and luminous tone. Supporting the tabletop is a sculptural brushed gold “Spider” base, custom-made by an artisan designer on Etsy.
A long wall of the kitchen is both functional and elegant, housing a paneled refrigerator, freezer, and a cleverly hidden coffee bar. The two center cabinets and the second-tier upper cabinets feature glass fronts, perfect for displaying treasured items.
Curated Display with Porcelain Dishware
Behind the glass, we’ve curated a collection of exquisite porcelain dishware from Tania Bulhões. Hand-crafted in Brazil, the display mixes her Jade Collection in blue with gold accents and the Mediterraneo platters in shimmering gold – subtle yet stunning focal points that reflect the room’s refined palette.
Culinary Centerpiece: Range and Hood
Behind the island sits the kitchen’s culinary showpiece: a 48-inch Bluestar Platinum Series range in Signal White, finished with brushed brass and stainless-steel trim. Above it, a custom-designed hood from Amoré, in powder-coated white with brass trim and rivets, becomes an eye-catching centerpiece.
The backsplash behind the range, and wrapping into the corner behind open shelves, is from Artistic Tile’s Moonbeam collection — a sophisticated backdrop with just the right amount of shimmer. Flanking the range are pull-out spice and oil organizers designed for easy access and highlighting how form and function coexist seamlessly throughout the space.
Hidden Storage and Smart Features
Functionality continues with hidden gems like the coffee bar tucked behind the tall cabinet to the far left. A retractable door and pull-out shelf make for easy access to the espresso machine. Below that to the left is a blind corner that has been fully maximized with a Le Mans pull-out system. This clever, kidney-shaped shelving unit swings outward to make use of what would otherwise be wasted space, with a non-skid surface and metal rim to keep everything stable and secure.
Dramatic Custom Bar
While this view offers plenty to admire, what you don’t immediately see in the main picture is what might be the most dramatic feature of all: the custom bar located on the far wall behind the banquette. Painted in Benjamin Moore’s deep Newburyport Blue, this showpiece takes things a step further with a finish we call Bilotta’s “Wet Look” – a high-gloss sheen that’s nearly unheard of on inset cabinetry, especially with such a complex curved front. It’s this kind of craftsmanship that sets our private label apart.
The bar is topped with Compac’s Ice Ink surface, a striking design created by Arik Levy, and backed with an antique mirror that adds depth and glamour. The hardware returns to Armac Martin’s MIX Collection, this time in a polished brass lacquer finish – a bold and beautiful counterpoint to the high-gloss blue cabinetry.
Interior Details and Craftsmanship
Even the interior details shine: the drawer boxes feature our signature dovetail construction in natural walnut, reinforcing our dedication to detail inside and out.
This display is not just a kitchen – it’s a celebration of four decades of luxury kitchen design leadership, artisanal craftsmanship, and innovation. It embodies everything Bilotta Kitchen & Home has stood for since day one, while giving a clear glimpse into the future of custom kitchen design.
