The 20-inch-diameter masterpiece is a highlight of the exhibition “Peacock in the Desert: The Royal Arts of Jodhpur, India,” which debuts at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, on March 4; mfah.org.Left: Courtesy of Dior.

Left: A marvel of technology and style, this matte-black solid-metal faucet from Kallista’s Grid collection—produced using 3-D printing—seems to defy the laws of nature with its divided spout, while its pared-down, cubic forms nod to the modernist de Stijl movement. Available this summer; kallista.com. Right: Minimalist master Sol LeWitt’s sculptural practice was radically reductive yet offered seemingly limitless possibilities for variation. Pictured here is his 1991 One x Two Half Off, in painted aluminum, part of a 2011 retrospective mounted by the Public Art Fund in Manhattan’s City Hall Park; publicartfund.org.Left: Courtesy of Kallista.
