Dekton: Super-dense, non-porous material for interior designers

I didn't fully understand this product until I watched its glossy, over-produced marketing video. Basically they've figured out a manufacturing process ("Sinterized Particle Technology") to create extremely dense, non-porous ("zero porosity") surfaces that are stronger than conventional materials.

It was recommended by the American Society of Interior Designers as one of the most influential product design in the last 20 years: "Dekton is one of the most advanced materials developed for interior and exterior design. It’s made using a process developed by Cosentino that essentially replicates at a faster pace than naturally occurring hardening of stone. It has applications in creating glass, porcelain, and quartz surfaces that have an amazing resistance to changes caused by use and the elements."
