I will be heading to my local post office to pick up a few sheets of the Eames stamps. Finally-they have been released and boy are they beautiful. Check out these photos from
Eames Demetrios posted the photos on flicker....he is a grandson and here is a short bio:
Eames Demetrios is a writer and filmmaker in Los Angeles who has just written the book "An Eames Primer" about the life and work of Charles and Ray Eames. The Eameses are best known for their furniture but one of the real contributions of the book is that it helps people see what Demetrios calls the "seamless connection" between all their work from their chairs to the landmark Eames House, from exhibitions (like Mathematica currently at the Exploratorium in San Francisco) to films like Powers of Ten.
Eames Demetrios is their grandson as well as being the director of the Eames Office for the past 8 years and he brings both perspectives to this book. The book is ultimately a kind of a thematic biography and the first overview of their philosophy and design process to hit the bookstands. The Eames Office is dedicated to communicating, preserving, and extending the work of Charles and Ray Eames. At the Eames Office site (www.eamesoffice.com) you can see examples of their work including a chapter from the Primer. Check it out and mail some snail mail with the great eames stamps!
