Sure, a modern example could be something as simple as the screen saver. Originally designed to function as an application to prevent screen burn, it made it's way into something that was more geared towards artwork than function.
I'm not sure of the function (if any) that the design of the windchime was supposed to serve (Im guessing it had something to do with wind velocity/detection, but today I think it's more art than anything else.
Clothing itself was originaly a design to protect man from the elements (and from oversexed woman), over time came fasion which would fuse art and expression into clothing. Fasion in itself is a movement that seems to take the facilities of design into the expression of art.
Like I was saying before though, "real" art I feel is always created by the viewer, not so much the creator of the object itself or even an artist. An artist can try to help the viewer see the art in something, but ultimately it's all in the eye of the beholder.
I often hear from people that they are envious of artists and other creatives because they themselves lack the power of imagination that it takes to create art. In all cases I can prove them wrong by having them give me their take on something (either tangeable or intangeable) and explaining how they releate to it or picture it. By doing so, they have created art themselves... everyone is a creative, an artist, thats the point. everyone has it inside, it's how they are able to express it to others and by what means they choose to do so.
