“Bob Noorda was born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 1927 and attended the Instituut voor Kunstnijverheidsonderwijs (IvKNO, now the Gerrit Rietveld Academie), graduating in 1950*. The functionalist education he received, a result of the school’s Bauhaus influence, was a constant presence throughout Noorda’s life as a designer.
In 1954 Noorda moved to Milan, Italy where the economic boom and cultural climate translated into innovative design work. Since that time, Noorda has contributed a great deal to the artistic and cultural development of that city. In addition, his body of work – corporate identity, transportation signage and graphic design – has reached far beyond his adopted city of Milan.”
