About Mezzaluna

A new plant-based training kitchen powered by Electrolux Professional

EHL, the world’s leading hospitality and business management school based in Lausanne, has always combined academic excellence with hands-on learning. Its latest project — the vegan restaurant Shadwood — is a perfect example. Designed and equipped in close collaboration with Electrolux Professional, the kitchen was built from an empty space in just two months, giving students access to cutting-edge professional equipment.

Founded in 1893, EHL has grown into a global education group with campuses in Lausanne, Passugg, and Singapore. Gastronomy is at the heart of its curriculum: the Lausanne campus features a dozen training restaurants, from fine dining to casual formats, including the Michelin-starred Berceau des Sens.

The new Shadwood restaurant adds a fresh, sustainable dimension with its 100% plant-based concept. Developed by students and planned by Kitchen Outlets Manager Jérôme Zbinden, the space combines functionality, innovation, and long-term vision.

For EHL, this partnership ensures students learn in a real-life environment equipped for the future of hospitality. For Electrolux Professional, it’s both a reference project and a living showroom — a place where education, sustainability, and technology come together to shape the next generation of chefs.
