I need stamps.


NOW. Congrats USPS, you have officially made me an enthusiast. Now my spiral binders from my youth will be complete. These are two designers that changed my childhood from the moment I stood back (about age 7 - second from top, far right) and REALLY looked at the chair I was laying in that I loved so much...


(From USPS.com)

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.
