This chair is meant to be the most fetching part of the interior, the focus of attention. And it's really have the characteristics to do that.

The most unique feature of this chair is its unusual design. It represents geometric abstraction where art is in favor of the functionality.

Karamba
Inspired by a pirate movie this stool looks like captain's treasure chest, where he can successfully hide his loot from the crew, disguised like a piece of furniture. Besides the drawer there are 2 hidden compartments to keep your treasures. Wooden body, ship ropes make the appearance more realistic, like an actual piece of captain's cabin. In a modern interior design this could be a really good accent in the room.

Everyone of us is trying to find the best balance between functionality and design and if we want the product to be economical that makes it even more difficult. With my close-coupled wc i was trying to find exactly this balance. It combines new approaches and technologies of increasing efficiency, saving water and materials and at the same time all this good stuff are hidden below a bold, monolith and extravagant design.
