The elegant lines of Thomas Bina Blaine Media Console from Frobisher are accentuated by this playful, French inspired colour palette featuring Resene Half Resolution Blue and Resene Smashing.
A bold electric blue wall in Resene Half Resolution Blue elevates the ordinary – turning this living space into a gallery with pops of crisp white and Resene Smashing red. The colourful drama creates a complementary contrast to highlight the detail in the Thomas Bina Blaine Media Console from Frobisher.

The red Roman Vase by Pols Potten comes as part of a multi-coloured set with various silhouettes. Here the red Roman Vase brings effortless style and character with a refined touch. Crafted in metal with a matte powder coated finish, this vase has a soft, tactile feel.
Stylish entertainment
This piece is raw and refined, classic and contemporary. Modern steel legs are the perfect counterpoint to a rustic frame and sliding door fronts; crafted from silver knotty oak solids and veneers in a unique slat-effect. Behind the cabinet doors are two generous sized shelves, with cable management holes inside.
Luxurious bubbles

Here the Thomas Bina Blaine Media Console from Frobisher is the centre piece for a calm, coastal living room with a backdrop in Resene Bud and Resene Half Villa White.
Soft greens and warm neutral colours combine in this relaxed coastal living room. The wall in Resene Half Villa White is a complementary neutral to the Battens in Resene Bud. Olive trees and toitoi bring an instant coastal cool, while layers of accessories in various neutral and green tones create an inviting natural environment for the Thomas Bina Blaine Media Console from Frobisher.
