Charles & Ray Eames Stamp Set – United States Postal Service –
Designed by Derry Noyes – 2008
Later this year the United States Postal Service will be releasing a commemorative set of stamps honoring the accomplishments of designers Charles & Ray Eames.
According to the USPS press release:
“In recognition of their groundbreaking contributions to architecture, furniture design, manufacturing and photographic arts, designers Charles and Ray Eames will be honored next summer with a pane of 16 stamps designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC. If you’ve ever sat in a stackable molded chair, you’ve experienced their creativity. 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.”
And I never thought I would collect stamps!
