Mobella returns to Bangkok Design Week with the easy confidence of a regular, this time joined by HOOM, a debut name keen to test familiar materials beyond furniture. Upholstery shifts from domestic comfort to public encounter, wrapping fabric and foam around one of Bangkok’s most recognisable street symbols: the traffic cone. What once signalled warning now reads as invitation, reshaped as a soft beanbag that encourages passersby to slow down and sit for a while. Playfulness carries a sharper undercurrent. Cones quietly dictate movement across pavements and roads, nudging bodies to stop, wait or change direction. Here, that authority softens. A symbol of control becomes a shared resting point, opening gentle reflection on how everyday objects organise urban behaviour without much notice. The result feels familiar yet slightly disorienting, a reminder that design can rewrite habits without raising its voice.
Until February 8. Free. General Post Office, 11am-10pm
