Capturing the Magnificence of the Universe
Whether it is light pollution, living among towering skyscrapers, or simply getting lost in the daily rhythm, what many consider to be the greatest magic of all — the sheer beauty of the cosmos — goes unnoticed by most of us.
Naoto Nakada of Nakada Design looked to the stars and posed the question: How can we transport the greatest beauty of all into our daily lives?
To answer this question, Nakada conceptualized a contemporary interpretation of the orrery. A mechanical model from centuries past that was far ahead of its time, an orrery illustrates the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons in our solar system.
The Celestial Orrery by Nakada Design stands as the only one of its kind in the world. Its mesmerizing design is complemented by its rich features and meticulous attention to detail:
Sparkling Milky Way Galaxy with diamond dust on a super black background that absorbs 99.9% of light
Spontaneous shooting stars and meteor showers
Displays Earth’s orbital journey around the sun in real time
Our planet rotates gracefully in real time, with the model Earth accurately depicting which continents are facing the sun during the day
Real time tracking of our eight planets orbiting around the sun
Time travel demonstration (a rapid rotation show)
A fiery sun with intermittent solar flares
Ambient lighting selectable to any color of your liking
A three-piece mechanical weather station
Choice of matching anodized titanium finish
Optional jeweled "infinite" mirror finish oval casing
