HEAVENLY BODIES • Infinity may be impossible to fathom, but we need only look up to see it—even if we can’t understand it.

The 20-inch-tall model of our solar system follows a centuries-long tradition of exquisite automatons that inject awe into the daily lives of a lucky few. With a sun of yellow sapphires, a moon of moonstone, and a diamond-wrapped earth of turquoise and garnets, this system’s splendor is inconceivable in its own way.

And that’s just the beginning of what Dekton has to offer.
