Colour and display

A restrained palette combines warm peach in Cobi with a pale background, grey shadow and a soft grey city skyline. Strong black contours and lettering give the character definition without introducing the bright multicolour backgrounds of other Cobi designs. These gentle tones would suit a Scandinavian-inspired room, a light contemporary workspace or a Barcelona-themed gallery wall, particularly alongside natural wood, warm whites and grey textiles.
