It is estimated that hundreds of meteorites of differentsizes enter the Earth s surface every year. Since ancienttimes they have generated admiration and curiosity in equalparts Thousands of years later, these meteorites are thesubject of experimentation by ENORME Studio through FINSA snew material, Fibracolour. MDF coloured boards covered withthe most exuberant colours, textures and finishes that haveshaped the Astral Bodies project. The inmersive experienceof this project has been created by Vitamin-Arte. Fibracolour offers new possibilities in decoration andinterior design world. This DM coloured in mass providesaesthetic and functional novelties. It can be covered withnatural veneer or melamine, and allows the application oftextures on the surface. The treatment of its surface withlacquers, waxes and varnishes is also a new posibility towork with this new material. Since it is mass colouredallows pantography, mechanization and leaves the board coreas an aesthetic value. When a meteorite touches earth it is baptized with the namewhere it was found. This is the case of Auria, Baroña,Cervo, Ézaro, Allariz, Herbón, Elviña, Salvora and Trevinca. They represent the places of Galician geography where theastral bodies landed on their arrival to earth. Thecomposition of each of the astral bodies is detailed so thatthe viewer can contemplate that each of the pieces areformed. Each meteor tells the story that has brought it toearth, in addition, we can contemplate the type of materialthat is in each of them. Auria is the meteorite that has fallen in the city ofOurense, hence its composition of yellow and blackFibracolour, reminiscent of the ancient Roman excavations ofthe city. In Allariz the vivid and attractive colors of the multitudeof gardens that flood the city are the inspiration torecreate this gray Fibracolour meteorite and the Lila Hawaiimelamine design. Likewise, the talcum green and the blackFibracolour make up Herbón. The meteorite takes its namefrom this municipality of Padrón, where the production ofpeppers is its differentiating element. Finally, we find Trevinca, the highest meteorite in theAstral Bodies By Finsa exhibition, which takes its name fromthe highest mountain in Galicia. Composed of blackFibracolour, this piece will be one of the focuses ofattention of this astral world that we have created togetherwith ENORME Studio and Vitamin-arte. On the shore of the Atlantic Ocean is the castro of Baroña,one of the oldest Celtic settlements in Galicia. Another ofour meteorites takes the name of this millennial site and isinspired by its different heights and infinite views. Alsoon the coast is Cervo, a small town full of color andvitality gives its name to a meteorite composed of red,gray, anthracite gray and black Fibracolour. The gray Fibracolour, together with the Terracota Novamelamine design, are the protagonists of Ézaro, one of themeteorites with the most personality. Its colors transportthe visitor to the area of cliffs and waterfalls more knownin the region. Similarly, in the province of A Coruña, wefind the district of Elviña, a population that maintains agreat relationship with the academic world is composed ofmany layers of gray Fibracolour, which give a monolithperspective to a piece full of forms and subtleties. Another new meteorite, named as Salvora Island, famous forits beaches, cliffs and wildlife, is composed of blackFibracolour and veneers in a natural way such as PalisandroMumbai, Kandy Ebony and Lebanon Cedar.
