Display: Bob Noorda 1927-2010
An appreciation of the legendary Milan-based graphic designer Bob Noorda, a Modernist legend and co-founding partner (with Massimo Vignelli) of Unimark International. Noorda passed away just over a week ago, on 11 Jan 2010, though it’s still tough to find an English-language obituary online. This write-up over at the excellent new mid-century Modern-focused design archive Display is not quite an obituary, but for the uninitiated it makes for a useful introduction to Noorda’s career.

Thanks, Danny. I’m also told that Steven Heller will pen an obituary to run in The New York Times in the coming days.

It is impossible to measure the loss of such a magnificent mind and talent.
