As Mario, the lead designer tasked with designing the custom sommelier station for Nineteen at The Star Gold Coast, Mario approached the project with an unwavering commitment to excellence. The primary objective was to create a sommelier station that reflects the luxury and sophistication of Nineteen and meets the specific needs of the sommeliers who will be using it daily.

Mario meticulously chose materials known for their durability and resilience to ensure longevity, capable of withstanding the demands of a high-traffic hospitality environment. Quality craftsmanship is paramount, and Mario intended to work with skilled cabinet makers with a proven track record of delivering superior joinery solutions for fast peace hospitality venues. The station’s design is tailored to the sommelier’s workflow, incorporating a dedicated in-built ice bucket for cooling wine bottles, glassware, and essential tools, ensuring optimal functionality.

Mario’s vision for the sommelier station features clean lines, elegant finishes, and a tasteful blend of contemporary elements.

Mario was drawn to the Polytec commercial range in carefully selecting materials, renowned for its high-quality products tailored to commercial applications. This range offers a diverse selection of finishes and textures that align perfectly with the design vision for Nineteen’s sommelier station. Mario intends to leverage the Polytec commercial range to elevate the station’s aesthetics, ensuring it becomes an exquisite focal point within the venue.

Throughout the design process, a close collaboration with the sommeliers and stakeholders at Nineteen to ensure the sommelier station is fit for its purposes. By understanding the specific requirements and operational needs, MQ Design aimed to create a solution that enhances their wine service, elevating the overall guest experience and reinforcing Nineteen’s reputation as a world-class destination. With careful attention to detail and a passion for perfection, Mario is confident that the custom sommelier station will be a masterpiece that reflects Nineteen’s commitment to excellence for years to come.
