Earthquakes are fairly common in Japan, so this planter that easily converts into an earthquake helmet makes more sense than it might appear at first glance. The helmet part acts as the base of the pot, and in the event on an earthquake the plant would nobly sacrifice its life in order to make its owner's head more safe. The same company also makes a lamp where the shade becomes a helmet and the lamp part becomes a portable flashlight.
