USPS unveils “Pioneers of American Industrial Design”

The United States Postal Service’s recent announcement of this year’s slate of commemorative stamps is making waves beyond the hardcore philately community. This year, in addition to Ronald Reagan and Tito Puente, the “Pioneers of American Industrial Design,” including Norman Bell Geddes and Raymond Loewy, will be celebrated with images of the household objects they designed. According to MediaBistro’s UnBeige blog, the designers and objects were chosen by USPS Art Director Derry Noyes, daughter of Eliot Noyes, whose work is included in the set.



It seems that the stamps will hit the market in July. I’ll definitely be buying some.
