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.

Carmelo Rodríguez, Rocío Pina and David Pérez ENORME STUDIO
ENORME Studio is the evolution of three co-founders of PKMN Architectures, they're Carmelo Rodríguez, Rocío Pina and David Pérez. After having collaborated for ten years on more than one hundred projects they've just started with a new shared initiative that keeps the same radical approach to architecture. They design and build ARCHITECTURE PROJECTS based on industrial systems and typological innovation.
They're specialists in mobile systems design applied to housing, office design and retail. They have changed the traditional concept of room in architecture, creating spaces that are easily converted through simple gestures. They design and perform participation dynamics in the domain of city construction through their creative services platform CIUDAD CREA CIUDAD and the creation of CITIZENSHIP BRAND IDENTITIES. Their aim is to foster alternative ways to examine urban issues and to motivate the creation of a proactive citizen culture. They design and apply TACTICAL URBANISM tools that transfer teamwork strategies and collective thinking dynamics into public and private space design and management. Their aim is to give the city back to citizens as an emotional, plural and relational space.
