LUST is a graphic and interactive design practice established in 1996 by Thomas Castro, Jeroen Barendse, and Dimitri Nieuwenhuizen and based in The Hague (NL). LUST projects are centered around the exploration of new pathways for design at the cutting edge where new media and information technologies, architecture and urban systems, and graphic design and typography overlap. In 2010, LUST founded LUSTlab as a research laboratory for media and technology, to develop new communication tools, man-machine installations and physical products using digital content.
