FINSA, a pioneer in the manufacturing of particleboard and MDF on the Iberian Peninsula, has chosen to collaborate with two leading Spanish studios in their respective fields, ENORME Studio and Vitamin-arte, to create a new installation recently exhibited at Milan Design Week 2019. Both studios are precursors in elevating the ephemeral—a reflection of the new trends emerging in these times of social and identity-related uncertainty. They are dedicated to developing innovative strategies that manifest as unique, interactive spatial experiences.
‘Astral Bodies’ is the name given to the result of this collaboration: a series of meteorites, objects of arcane origin that appear before us as formless forms. ENORME Studio reimagines the reality of wood fiber, evolving it into a new element capable of generating volumes and drawing from the collective imagination. ‘Fibracolour’—a material that takes on the character of a gemstone when sculpted—transitions into a new entity, a new body: a series of meteorites that complete the composition of ‘Astral Bodies.’ These freshly fallen objects are composed fundamentally of this material.
