In Far North Queensland, where the tropical air hums with colour and life, a hospitality fit-out called Mexicairns is changing the conversation about sustainable design.

Brought to life by Myriad Design, this spirited eatery champions bold materials with an equally bold message: beauty should never cost the earth. At the heart of the project are two names reshaping responsible specification: MEGANITE and EGGER, both supplied by ForestOne. These materials lead with integrity, designed to support interiors that prioritise health, performance and environmental impact.

MEGANITE’s Winter Boulder 800A makes a bold statement throughout Mexicairns. The 100% Crystalline Silica-free acrylic solid surface combines the natural elegance of stone with none of the associated health risks. Certified food-safe, it’s engineered to endure the high demands of hospitality – from benchtops and tabletops to a custom beer-pong table. Durable, versatile and distinctly practical, Winter Boulder proves its value in spaces where life is vibrant and unscripted.

What sets MEGANITE apart is its thermoformability. This feature gives designers freedom to soften edges, shape curves and create uninterrupted surfaces that feel as good as they look. In Mexicairns, Myriad Design turned this capability into a collection of tactile, sculptural details, transforming simple joinery into design statements.

Softening the high-energy palette, EGGER Eurodekor® panels in Apricot Nude feature in planter boxes and joinery throughout the venue. Beyond aesthetics, EGGER’s eco credentials are formidable. With a negative carbon footprint of -13.8 kilograms of CO2 per square metre and 76 percent recycled content, it sets a benchmark for responsible specification in interior design and architecture.

Built for busy interiors, EGGER panels come with anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties as standard, making them an ideal choice for hospitality venues that juggle aesthetics with practical performance. The brand’s perfectly matched laminates and ABS edging add another layer of finesse, ensuring colour and texture flow effortlessly throughout the space.

Mexicairns champions a new kind of fit-out – one where responsible specification shapes every surface, every texture and every choice. It’s a bold reminder that sustainability and character are not competing forces, but natural allies in the hands of good design.

With the expertise of Myriad Design and the craftsmanship of Kitchens by CCJS, this vibrant venue stands as a real-world showcase for ForestOne’s product range – a space where ethical materials and expressive interiors coexist without compromise.
