Discuss the issues of global warming through the Christmas ball

The Kaktus Christmas ball (measuring 80 mm/95 mm) was designed by the German designer Mark Brownsensitive to issues linked to global warming.

“I quickly wished that the Christmas ball that I was going to imagine could, in the future, bear witness to current times and discuss questions related to the challenges of global warming,” he explains in an interview with CIAV.

He created Kaktus by imagining a future Christmas in our latitudes which would see the cacti replace our traditional fir treesaccording to the CIAV. A way to “raise awareness with humor”.
