Lou Dorfsman, Creative Director for all things CBS for over 40 years died Wednesday in Roslyn NY at the age of 90 due to congestive heart failure. Dorfman has been in the design news a lot recently for the ongoing restoration project of his famous Gastrotypographicalassemblage wall which once lived in the CBS cafeteria. The Center for Design Study has assumed responsibility for the Wall’s preservation, including its restoration, maintenance and exhibition. More about Dorfsman can be found here & here
