New in '08: Eames Stamps!
Every year we—yes, seriously—look forward to the release of the new stamps for the year. This year? A big surprise: sheets of Charles and Ray Eames’ stamps celebrating the couples contributions to architecture, design, photography, furniture, and as emblems of American history. The stamps, which feature sixteen of the Eames’ creations, were designed by artist Derry noyes.
The USPS notes:
“Perhaps best known for their furniture, the Eameses were husband and wife as well as design partners. Their extraordinary body of creative work — which reflected the nation’s youthful and inventive outlook after World War II — also included architecture, films and exhibits. Without abandoning tradition, Charles and Ray Eames used new materials and technology to create high-quality products that addressed everyday problems and made modern design available to the American public.”
