About Karamba Stóll

Innblásinn af sjóræningjamynd lítur þessi stóll út eins og fjársjóðskista skipstjórans, þar sem hann getur falið herfang sitt fyrir áhöfninni, dulbúinn eins og húsgögn. Fyrir utan skúffuna eru 2 falin hólf til að geyma fjársjóðina þína. Viðarbol, skipsreipi gera útlitið raunsærra, eins og raunverulegt stykki af káetu skipstjórans. Í nútímalegri innanhússhönnun gæti þetta verið mjög góður hreim í herberginu.
