The Vatel Academy opens its doors to artisanal furniture manufacturer Collinet

The Vatel Academy Lyon: Gastronomic IFM is an illustrious training center dedicated to hospitality apprenticeships, with creativity at its heart. By booking a table at one of the three on-site establishments (the l'Avenir and Potager restaurants, as well as the Arômes bar), you will discover an exceptional place. A true reference in the world of gastronomy, this school prepares future star chefs for the demands of the hotel and restaurant sector.

A collaboration between Collinet and the Vatel Academy, dedicated to excellence

The manufacturer Collinet was entrusted with the worthy mission of outfitting the Vatel Academy, sublimating the tea and dining rooms, as well as the lobby and bistro. The only way to furnish this renowned institute was with bespoke furniture. After all, it is a castle - Lacroix-Laval, on the outskirts of Lyon - that has seen the magic work within its walls!

Enjoy a dish made from seasonal products and taste unique homemade pastries in the heart of bright and spacious rooms. A charming setting where Collinet armchairs, chairs and tables offer all their prettiness. The choice of furniture embellishes the environment and guarantees absolute comfort during this gourmet interlude.

The visual and sensory pleasure of designer furniture at the Vatel Academy

The Collinet range of furniture, skilfully enhanced by lighting fixtures from Designheure, lends a subtle elegance to your tasting moments. The professionals who design these customized chairs, tables and armchairs take great care to ensure they are fully ergonomic. In this way, the aesthetic and practical benefits of hand-made pieces reflect the dedication of the apprentices.

In a different but still refined style, the Louis XVI medallion chair follows in the footsteps of the finest classical references. Here, Collinet combines tradition and modernity. The fluted legs, like the solid beech frame, meet the sobriety of a contemporary upholstery with distinguished finishes. The upholstered seat adds to your serenity.

The Nox high table stands out for its remarkable sturdiness. Discreet and functional, your food is arranged on a sleek, square base supported by an oak frame.

Other pieces of interior furniture, such as the Charlait armchair, harmoniously complement these creations. The chosen layout and subtle color palette set it off to perfection.

In all, the synergy of several talents, including those of the designers and interior architect Laurence Montagny, has created a warm atmosphere in this charming interior space. The catering professionals in training and their supervisors have plenty of time to surprise you with their culinary delights.
