THE PIONEERS OF AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN GET THEIR OWN STAMPS

switchmodern thanks the United States Postal Service's art director Derry Noyes for once again putting some design history on our mail. We collected the Masterworks of Modern Architecture stamps in 2005 and Charles + Ray Eames in 2008.

The Pioneers of American Industrial Design stamp pane honors 12 of the nation's most important and influential industrial designers. Encompassing everything from furniture and electric kitchen appliances to corporate office buildings and passenger trains, the work of these designers helped shape the look of everyday life in the 20th century. The stamps go on sale in July.
