Helsinki-based designer Lincoln Kayiwa has designed two multi-functional home and office objects. 
Called Eemeli (top two images) and Betty (below), they are available in black or white porcelain and glass.
The objects can be used as vases, candle holders, umbrella stands or even fish bowls, apparently.
The following is from Kayiwa Oy:

EEMELI
Is it a reef? Is it a symbiote? No, it's EEMELI! You may just plain admire it or place flowers in it.
This baby comes in black or white porcelain and glass.

BETTY
BETTY is a vase.
BETTY is a candelabrum.
BETTY is even a fish bowl or an umbrella holder.
BETTY looks wonderful when empty too.
The obverse and reverse sides of the BETTY let you use it the way you like.
BETTY comes in black or white porcelain and glass.
a fishbowl?!?!?!?!??!
boooo
too mutch functions , means = no function !
look , I give you a shape , do what ever you want with it !
umbrella holder or ..a coffin for fish
haha… funny… if its as cheap as the intention i’ll get some ;-)
is it a rendering or real
show us real product Lincoln:) everyone can make:( 3d renderings
after holes of different sizes in a flat piece of metal by demacker we have the same differents holes in a volume…cheese design ;-) !!!
Try manufacturing those seaweed specimens!!!!!
swiss cheese on steroids
trendy but useless. umbrella is not a fish and the other way around
sorry seeeen this to many times in my life… and i work in same field as these people
i really like it! the objects look quite fascinating…
oh yeah i saw this on a documentary exposé on TV. i think it was called “the worlds most depressed goldfish” or something.
subdivs to the max
pretty average renderings…
try increasing thesampling rate for you ambient occlusion pass
i’m not saying i like it but i’d like to see an actual photograph. this sort of thing is quickly done in a spare half hour on studiomax. Manufacturing this is another story.
wow,
this is ridiculous. Obscene, actually.
…I’m going to draw a 3d fart and call it a multipurpose object. It’ll come in pink for girls and blue for boys. Anyone interested?
i like it! ok i would translate it into a different scale
and make it a skaterpark…the felix
