It is estimated that hundreds of meteorites of different sizes enter the earth's surface each year. Since ancient times they have generated admiration and curiosity in equal parts ...

Thousands of years later, these meteorites are subject to experimentation by ENORME Studio through the new Fibracolour material from FINSA, mass-colored MDF boards coated with the most lush colors, textures and finishes that have shaped the Astral Bodies project . The immersive experience that transports the visitor to an astral world has been created by Vitamin.
Own names for elements from another world

When a meteor touches earth it is baptized with the name of the place where it was found. This is the case of Auria, Baroña, Cervo, Ézaro, Allariz, Herbón, Elviña, Sálvora and Trevinca. They represent the places of Galician geography where the astral bodies landed on their arrival on earth.

The composition of each of the astral bodies is detailed so that the viewer can contemplate that each of the pieces are formed. Each meteor tells the story that has brought it to the earth, in addition, we can contemplate the type of material that is in each of them.

Auria is the meteorite that has fallen in the city of Ourense, hence its composition of yellow and black Fibracolour, reminiscent of the ancient Roman excavations of the city.

On the shore of the Atlantic Ocean is the Baroña castro, one of the oldest Celtic settlements in Galicia. Another of our meteorites takes the name of this millenary site and is inspired by its different heights and infinite views. Also on the coast is Cervo, a small population full of color and vitality gives its name to a meteorite made up of red, gray, anthracite gray and black Fibracolour.

Gray Fibracolour, together with the Terracota Nova melamine design, are the protagonists of Ézaro, one of the meteorites with the most personality. Its colors transport the visitor to the area of ​​cliffs and waterfalls best known in the region. Similarly, in the province of A Coruña, we find the Elviña neighborhood, a town that maintains a great relationship with the academic world is composed of many layers of gray Fibracolour, which give a monolithic perspective to a piece full of shapes and subtleties.

In Allariz the bright and attractive colors of the multitude of gardens that flood the city are the inspiration to recreate this gray Fibracolour meteorite and the Lila Hawaii melamine design. Likewise, talc green and black Fibracolor make up Herbón. The meteorite takes its name from this municipality of Padrón, where the production of peppers is its differentiating element.

Another new meteorite, named as The Island of Sálvora, famous for its beaches, cliffs and wildlife, is made up of black Fibracolour and natural veneers such as Rosewood Mumbai, Ebony Kandy and Cedar Lebanon.

Finally, we find Trevinca, the highest meteorite in the Astral Bodies By Finsa exhibition, which takes its name from the highest mountain in Galicia. Composed of black Fibracolour, this piece will be one of the focus of this astral world that we have created together with ENORME Studio and Vitamin-art.

Creativity is the tool and Fibracolour is the material
 
Fibracolour offers new possibilities in the field of decoration and interior design. This mass-colored DM provides aesthetic and functional novelties. It can be coated with natural sheet or melamine, and allows the application of surface textures. It also allows the treatment of its surface with lacquers, waxes and varnishes. Being colored in mass allows pantography, mechanization and leaves the inside of the board as an aesthetic value.

ENORME Studio, founded in Madrid in 2016, is the evolution of three co-founders of PKMN Architectures: Carmelo Rodríguez, Rocío Pina and David Pérez. After collaborating for ten years on more than a hundred projects, they have launched this new shared initiative that maintains the same radical approach to architecture. They design and build architectural projects based on industrial systems and typological innovation.

They specialize in the design of mobile systems applied to housing, workspace, and commerce. They have transformed the traditional concept of living into architecture, creating spaces that are easily transformed through simple gestures. They design and implement participatory dynamics in the field of city construction through their creative services platform CIUDAD CREA CIUDAD and the creation of CITIZEN BRAND IDENTITIES. Their goal is to promote alternative ways of addressing urban issues and motivate the creation of a proactive civic culture. They design and apply "Tactical Urbanism" tools that translate teamwork strategies and collective thinking dynamics into the design and management of public and private spaces. Their goal is to return the city to its citizens as an emotional, plural, and relational space.

Among their most notable projects is their collaboration on the Spanish Pavilion for Expo 2025 Osaka, alongside Néstor Montenegro and Smart and Green Design. Selected through a public competition organized by Acción Cultural Española, their proposal, under the motto "The Kuroshio Current," seeks to connect Spain and Japan through a comprehensive experience that combines architecture, art, design, gastronomy, and outreach, using sustainable and low-impact materials.

Other recent projects include the flexible Beyome home in Madrid, a modular system that allows rooms to be reconfigured according to the needs of the inhabitants, and the installation The Theory of Cherries, a playful and colorful proposal that encourages interaction and reflection on public spaces.

ENORME Studio has been recognized for its innovation and commitment to sustainability, participating in various competitions and receiving mentions in specialized publications. Its interdisciplinary and participatory approach continues to position it as a benchmark in contemporary Spanish architecture.
