Made out of twisted wire, the Crane and the Deer Origami Animal Umbrella Stands by Taiwan’s Liberté Design Studio, interlace the virtual and real into a visual compound. Which basically means they look really cool.
Origami Animal Umbrella Stands
From the Optical Illusion collection, the origami-like silhouettes create different looks depending on where you are standing. The umbrella stands bring you different taste of visual illusion from false to real, and also play a functional role in livening up a dull space.

Also worth noting, by the same designer and from the same collection, are these book ends or magazine stands. Crafted the same way as the umbrella stands, the cat, pig, elephant and penguin are both fun and functional.
