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.
