This award-winning work is truly remarkable, combining a functional design with an iconic shape and rope details. The four different ropes used to form the seat and the hidden rotatable wheels perfectly complete the look. It is an amazing piece of furniture that can be used as a stool or a storage container. A great example of how design can be both eye-catching and practical.

I'm so impressed with Vasil Velchev's award-winning work, "Karamba"! The unique feature of the stool is the way the rope is attached to the legs and piercing the body, creating a truly eye-catching piece of furniture that also functions as a storage container. I love the way the drawer opens and closes with a clicking mechanism, and the little rotatable wheels hidden in the legs are a nice touch. It's clear that a lot of research and experimentation went into creating this piece, and it's obvious that inspiration was drawn from pirate equipment, ropes and knots. Congratulations to Vasil Velchev for this truly remarkable piece of design.
