La Table du Grapiot

Refurbishment & artistic direction
Gastronomic restaurant
Pupillin, Jura (FR) 2024

Vivien SONZOGNI, Noémie PARIS, Louise BELGRAND, Hugo SIGNORI and Violette BERGERON have teamed up to embark on a new exciting adventure in their illustrious careers.

The establishment will be getting a facelift, drawing inspiration from the surrounding wilderness to showcase the hand-chiseled sculpted materials. Lime, stone, and locally sourced oak interact differently in each of the three rooms with a unifying vocabulary that is both authentic and contemporary.

Each space has been redesigned and rearranged. The kitchen opens out onto the first room, which now offers an enormous table d’hôte in front of the fireplace, lying under a suspended birch tree. The pantry creates an airlock before the restaurant’s dining room, adorned with round, gouged oak tables. Bright pebbles overhang each of the tabletops which are set on mineral blocks. 

The private dining room allows for multiple configurations thanks to its large beech tabletop, which can be subdivided into smaller tables. Grasses thrive here in lighting softened by openwork panels.

The pass’s opening made from burnt wood transforms the kitchen into a living tableau where Vivien, Louise and Violette work away.



The notion of balance, a key theme throughout the project, is reflected in the new identity put forward by Mirana Metzger.

Le Grapiot’s G becomes the location’s new emblem, from the weathering steel in the entrance to the embroidered aprons used during service.

The sculptural base of each table with their solid oak tabletops, sitting under troglodyte lighting, set the scene in the dining room.

Each cluster can seat between two and six guests.

The whole of the main room plays with balance and weightlessness.

In the private dining room, the main tabletop has been divided into five tables for two, allowing for generous tables or intimate pairs as desired.

The large wooden openwork panel adds its own luminous rhythm.

The serving unit, placed centrally, discreetly hides its function. The sober lines and rough finishes conceal the technology and professional equipment used to serve wine by the glass.

The large table d’hôte can accommodate up to 14 guests.

As soon as you enter La Table du Grapiot, the materials – lime, stone, wrought iron and solid oak – create a new backdrop for the chef’s refined, creative and authentic cuisine.

A huge thank you to Vivien & Noémie, Hugo and Violette for this carte blanche in complete harmony with their aspirations, their boundless energy and their perfect kindness. Thanks as well to Gaétan Nozet and Éric Ducrot for the woodwork, to Medhi and his team, to Alain Belle and to Thomas Naulin for the ironwork.
