“Humans are atmospheric beings, particles, dust, in intimate cycles of exchange, actors with an incredible force. We need to become attuned actors with a deeper understanding of all the other particles.”
We live on a small, fragile dot—our Earth. The rate at which we are consuming its resources far exceeds their natural replenishment, and climate change seems inevitable. The studio focuses on design research through materials and mapping, aiming to uncover narratives that visually advocate for a cleaner future.
Studio Dust frequently incorporates dust as a literal material in its designs. Symbolically, dust represents the cycle of “from dust to dust,” highlighting our vulnerability. Yet, despite their tiny size, these particles can have immense power when they come together. While one particle may seem insignificant, a dust cloud can create a massive impact. Meaningful change requires collective effort.
Studio Dust is based on these two pillars: research-by-design through material with cooperation as its base.
