Studio Bomba
“Stop” is a public intervention that challenges existing regulations. Based on the belief that public space should be accessible to everyone, this project explores how we interact with this shared space.

Take a moment to pause

A traffic sign normally has a clear function: it guides behavior and contributes to safety. Removing a traffic sign from its functional context changes its meaning. A clear instruction suddenly becomes an open-ended question. This work invites visitors to pause, both literally and figuratively. This can be personal: What should I personally reflect on? But it can also be societal: What should we, as a society, stop doing? At the same time, the work raises questions about public space, regulations, and the role of design in guiding our behavior.

About Bomba

Bomba is a creative design studio working across graphic and spatial design. Bomba creates visual identities, graphics and spatial installations with a playful and outspoken approach. Public space is a key subject in their work, especially the way signs and symbols decide how people move and behave. Bomba explores this familiar visual language and puts it into new contexts. Their work aims to start dialogue and asks how we should use our public space.
