About Karamba Hocker

Inspiréiert vun engem Piratefilm gesäit dësen Hocker aus wéi de Kapitän senger Schatzkëscht, wou hien säi Loot erfollegräich vun der Crew verstoppe kann, verkleed wéi e Miwwel. Nieft dem Tirang ginn et 2 verstoppte Kompartimenter fir Är Schätz ze halen. Hëlzent Kierper, Schëff Seeler maachen d'Erscheinung méi realistesch, wéi eng tatsächlech Stéck Kapitän Kabine & # 039; An engem modernen Bannenariichtung kéint dëst e wierklech gudden Akzent am Raum sinn.
