At first sight, it looks like an innocent version of the Martians from Tim Burton’s "Mars Attacks", but it's just a harmless cactus planter with white legs and a transparent head. They’re called Domsai, a play on the words dome and bonsai, and they’re designed to house small plants inside, such as these adorable cacti.
Domsai was created by Italian Matteo Cibic, who describes it as a "desktop tamagochi". Just as you must care for a virtual pet so it won’t die, you must also take responsibility for those plants growing on your desk. And if they look human (or Martian) you’ll probably take this task more seriously.
Each cactus planter is hand-made and has a different shape. The glass domes are also hand-made, and each one looks different: pointy, rounded, oval shaped... that way you can have a grouping of cacti, each with its own personality. With these clever planters on your desk, you’ll think cactus has taken on a life of its own. It may well start walking any second now...
