Coincidence, process, context, essence. These four words characterize the working methods of LUST, a design studio based in the Netherlands. Information plays an important role in LUST’s work. For example, its design for the Digital Depot, a permanent installation space at Rotterdam’s Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, includes two main areas where visitors can learn more about the artworks: an interactive DataWall with giant, transparent touch screens; and DataCloud, a digital environment navigable with a joystick containing the museum’s entire 117,000-piece collection. For an open house at Amsterdam’s Rijksakademie, the studio delineated pathways with different kinds of tape, creating a simple and effective solution to wayfinding. For the city of Hoek Van Holland, the group cleverly reworked the typical folding action of a map and used it to more effectively present the information, avoiding the common problem of a large unwieldy piece of paper. For a Web site promoting the Dutch high-speed railway system, LUST devised an interface utilizing a grid of points that expands and contracts to convey concepts of time and distance. This sense of invention extends to typeface designs such as Blowout, which is based on a series of spatial experiments with letterforms using the negative space of cutout squares. The trio likens their activity to the moment when you realize that the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle is missing. To them, this sense of incompleteness and indeterminacy is “a thousand times more interesting than the moment when the puzzle is finished because when that happens, there is nothing more.”
