Not sure if this is what you are asking but sculptural objects like this can either be in the category of "applied arts" or "decorative arts".

Oh yes, it could be applied art 😉 Thanks. I’ve also heard the term functional art, is that the same?

I would assume that would essentially mean the same thing. Applied Art essentially describes something practical/functional that is also artistically/aesthetically expressive.
