... and my Time Capsule successfully bridges the gap between lifestyle and technology with its wharf rat crushing facility.
That all said, I still think this is pretty neat. Certainly, I arch a quavering eyebrow at filling my router with liquid, but given the fact that my router does nothing except blink silently on a small table in my hallway, I'm just in touch with my feminine side enough to think how nice it would be to have sunflowers there instead.

Wireless Router Flower Vase Concept Also Doubles As Nuclear Cooling Tower [Concepts]
Gizmodo —
... Generally, water and gadgets don't tend to play nicely together. But I'm a fan of this wireless router/flower vase concept design from Saudi telecom company STC. With it, the router doesn't have to be shoved away in the corner, its tangle of wires collecting dust bunnies by the pound. Now, how aboud a daffodil—or a cottonball puff simulating the smoke rising out of a sector 7G's cooling tower. [Dezeen] ...
A router combined with a vase makes routers nice to look at
DVICE Atom Feed —
... want to be without it, but couldn't it look a little better?
That's the idea behind this wireless router vase from Saudi Arabia based STC. It's a fully functioning wireless router, but it also happens to be a pretty nice looking flower vase. As long as you're willing to ignore the obvious issues with filling an electronic device with water, it's a pretty slick looking object. What do you think, would you rather have this or a traditional router?

What a beautiful vase for–HOLY CRAP IT’S A ROUTER!
CrunchGear —
... a wireless router! And a vase!
Seriously, though, it looks nice and it’s about time we moved into designer routers and routers with custom photo etchings and routers you can wear on a chain around your neck that light up when you get close to other router with similar interests, right?
Not sure about the price but as far as availability is concerned, you’d have to move to Saudi Arabia to get your hands on this. Or wait until Brando makes a knock-off.

Saudi Telecom’s router that looks like a flower vase
Krunker —
... Saudi Telecom shows us that a wireless router doesn’t necessarily have to look like one. The STC router, which doubles as a flower vase, supports Wi-Fi, VoIP, land-line telephone, and wired DSL connections. While I probably wouldn’t place this router in the center of the dining room table, it would definitely make a nice fixture for an end-table or cabinet somewhere. Kudos to Saudi Telecom for showing us that a gadget doesn’t have to look like a gadget!

Bonito jarr… ¿router?

... concepto muy interesante, no solo convierte el router, un feo aparato que da señal inalámbrica, en algo estético, si no que le da un uso práctico.
Los routers actuales que las operadoras instalan son un chiste en lo que al diseño se refiere, en la calidad está casi igual, pero cuando empiezas a ver este tipo de productos, que tampoco pueden ser mucho más caros que los actuales (mismo hardware, diferente carcasa de plástico).

Disguise Your Geekiness With the STC Wireless Router
Technology - Channel Feed —
Need a flower vase and support for Wi-Fi, wired DSL, and VoIP? Then the STC Wireless Router is absolutely perfect! Coming straight at you from Saudi Telecom.
Yes, you can fill it up with water and place actual flowers in it. And from the looks of it, this router doesn’t have that large a footprint. Now if it could only hide the DSL and power cables really well…

Flour Router Makes Your Electronics Smell Good
OhGizmo! —
... a wireless router into a sort of nuclear power plant shape with space for a flower in the top. If it’s got space for water in there, I imagine you could fill it with soil and actually get something to grow, and the radiation from the router will undoubtedly cause all kinds of exciting and potentially horrific mutations. Like exploding petunias. Kaboom!
Or, you could just set a vase on top of your existing router and try to grow something in that. Your call.
