The Design

About Karamba Tabure

Inspiriran gusarskim filmom, ovaj stolac izgleda poput kapetanove škrinje s blagom, gdje može uspješno sakriti svoj plijen od posade, prerušen u komad namještaja. Osim ladice postoje 2 skrivena pretinca za čuvanje vašeg blaga. Drveno tijelo, brodska užad čine izgled realističnijim, poput pravog komada kapetanske kabine. U modernom dizajnu interijera ovo bi mogao biti stvarno dobar naglasak u sobi.
