The Design

About Karamba Tamboret

Inspirat en una pel·lícula de pirates, aquest tamboret sembla el cofre del tresor del capità, on pot amagar amb èxit el seu botí de la tripulació, disfressat com un moble. A més del calaix, hi ha 2 compartiments ocults per guardar els teus tresors. Cos de fusta, cordes de vaixell fan que l'aspecte sigui més realista, com una peça real de la cabina del capità. En un disseny d'interiors modern, això podria ser un molt bon accent a l'habitació.
