Italian Steakhouse in NYC

In collaboration with YODEZEEN Architects, Bricble supplied the complete architectural millwork and custom fabrication package for LaNoma Italian Steakhouse in Fort Lee, New Jersey. The 5,886-square-foot restaurant was designed as a contemporary expression of Italian hospitality within an 18-foot ceiling volume. The brief called for millwork that could moderate that tall industrial space while creating genuine warmth and intimacy—without sacrificing spatial generosity. We delivered a continuous 3,000-square-foot oak veneer ceiling, a custom TEYO marble bar, integrated vanities, and supporting millwork throughout. Delivered over seven months, the restaurant opened in early 2025.

Working with Bricble was a game-changer! Their expertise in architectural millwork transformed Lanoma into a stunning culinary haven. From the breathtaking oak veneer ceiling to the meticulously crafted custom bar, every detail exudes elegance and quality. Bricble's dedication and craftsmanship truly brought our vision to life. We couldn't be happier with the result!

Moderating volume with warmth

YODEZEEN—with studios across London, Dubai, Miami, and Kyiv—designed LaNoma to merge Italian conviviality with modern spatial clarity. The primary challenge was softening the 18-foot ceiling height while preserving the room's generous proportions and introducing natural warmth. Their vision required a millwork partner capable of translating complex architectural drawings into physical reality across two levels. Large olive trees, exposed beams, and carefully chosen materials were central to achieving an atmosphere suited to both casual lunches and refined evening dining.

The defining architectural gesture. Premium oak veneer spans both levels, creating visual continuity that softens the 18-foot ceiling height while maintaining spatial volume. Each panel was hand-selected for grain consistency and color uniformity, then sequenced for installation to produce a continuous visual flow. Precision-mounted panel by panel, the ceiling integrates lighting fixtures and HVAC systems—technical requirements concealed within the design.

The result reads as a single continuous surface, transforming what could have been a cavernous dining room into an intimate environment defined by warmth and natural materiality.

Signature Element: Custom TEYO Marble Bar

The custom bar features: marble countertop and integrated millwork base, forming both a service hub and visual centerpiece.

The bar anchors the dining room as both high-volume service station and sculptural focal point. Built around YODEZEEN's TEYO white-and-gray marble countertop, the integrated millwork base combines storage, display, and service infrastructure in a single piece. Backlit shelving and precise material transitions—marble to oak to glass—create a dramatic centerpiece that connects the open kitchen and dining room.

Our design partner specified exact proportions for service flow, sightlines, and material transitions. The bar operates as commercial infrastructure while reading as a refined architectural element.

Comprehensive Millwork Integration

Architectural coherence emerges through accumulated detail. Beyond the ceiling and bar, our scope encompassed custom dining tables, a floor-to-ceiling glass wine display, service stations, vanities and wall panels, doors, cabinets, and exterior wood-slat facade elements—each fabricated to YODEZEEN's specifications for dimensional accuracy and finish consistency.

This is millwork as integral architectural system: every element contributes to spatial experience and operational function simultaneously, ensuring visual and functional continuity throughout the restaurant and its street presence.

Materials & Precision

Premium oak veneer hand-selected for grain continuity. Natural matte finish highlights wood character while providing durability for commercial environments.

Material quality determines craft potential. Premium oak veneer was selected for the ceiling and millwork for its grain consistency and ability to introduce natural warmth at scale. Each sheet was evaluated for grain character and color uniformity, then sequenced for installation—a level of material curation that ensures the finished work reads as intentional architecture, not applied decoration. The TEYO marble and Calacatta accents provide visual contrast and durability in high-traffic areas.

All components were fabricated to ±1 mm tolerances using CNC equipment paired with hand finishing. Installation sequences were engineered with the general contractor and MEP trades before fabrication began: ceiling panels aligned to lighting grids, millwork dimensions accounted for finished wall conditions, and service stations integrated with plumbing and electrical rough-ins. This systematic approach enabled seven months of continuous work with zero schedule delays.

Engineering the Integrated Vanity

WIDTH: 2400 mm / DEPTH: 600 mm / HEIGHT: 900 mm

The bespoke vanity exemplifies the project's approach to material integration. The upper section features a honed Calacatta marble countertop with mitered edges that create a monolithic appearance, extending continuously into two integrated rectangular basins. A central recessed stone tray provides functional organization for amenities while maintaining the uninterrupted flow of the stone's veining.

Below, rift-sawn white oak veneer cabinetry is grounded by a decorative timber belt molding that adds visual relief. A four-bay layout with concealed hardware ensures a flush, architectural silhouette—clean lines maintained throughout.
