en.Wedoany.com Reported - Spanish panel manufacturer Finsa has participated for the second consecutive year as a sponsor in the Mayrit Biennial of Design, Architecture, and Art, supporting the installation "Unboxing" developed by the Belgian collective Espace Aygo. This installation is part of the 2026 edition, running from May 20 to 24, and will be on display at the Central de Diseño de Matadero Madrid until June 5.
The "Unboxing" installation belongs to the biennial's curatorial main theme (Super)Models, aiming to reflect on the life cycle of industrial materials and the relationships between control, transformation, and entropy. Through spatial constructions based on various wood-derived materials, the project explores how industrial systems evolve and adapt to new applications and contexts.
Espace Aygo's debut at Mayrit coincides with its growing international recognition. In recent years, the collective's work has gradually emerged in the field of European experimental design and architecture, particularly after transforming a residential studio in Brussels into a space for architectural experimentation and collaborative design.
This collaboration allows Finsa to introduce the concept of Habitat 360 into the Mayrit context. This initiative aims to connect materials, design, and knowledge applied to architectural and interior projects, with the goal of providing holistic construction and design solutions for spatial development by integrating different applications and processes.
In the "Unboxing" installation, this approach is realized through the use of several of the company's panel products, including: SuperPan (a panel composed of a wood fiber surface layer and a particle core), FibraPan (MDF board for dry environments), FibraPan Form TRV EZ (designed for curved applications), FibraColour Negro EZ (uniformly colored throughout), and Finflex (a flexible wood veneer aimed at expanding application possibilities on wood-based substrates).
Through the combination of panels, veneers, and technical surfaces, the installation constructs a narrative exploring the balance between industrial processes and material behavior. The display focuses on the material's ability to respond to new design demands while fostering a dialogue between material innovation, architecture, and contemporary design.
