Public Affairs and Communications (PAC) contacts.

Please use this publicity kit to help develop and plan your stamp dedication events. Be sure to contact your PAC field representative early in the planning process. The field managers listed on page 6 can assist you in maximizing your publicity opportunities.

Overview In June the Postal Service™ will dedicate a pane of 16 stamps to honor designers Charles and Ray Eames. Perhaps best known for their furniture, they were husband and wife as well as design partners. Their extraordinary body of creative work — reflecting the nation’s youthful and inventive outlook after World War II — also included architecture, films and exhibits. The Eameses used new materials and technology to create high-quality products that addressed everyday problems and made modern design, including the molded plywood chair, available to the American public. The Eames stamps will be dedicated June 17 at the Eames Office in Santa Monica, California. A special unveiling ceremony will take place the week prior at the NeoCon design conference in Chicago, Illinois, where 50,000 people are expected to attend. Information on the stamps will be included in the daily conference newsletter, and those attending will have the opportunity to pre-order stamps. These colorful and provocative stamps provide the Postal Service with an opportunity to educate the public about elements of modern design as well as reach out to the design community by staging local dedication events and other activities that bring together postal representatives, designers, art design students and other stakeholders.

Suggested Publicity Ideas for Stamp Dedication Events and Related Activities There are many opportunities available for promoting the Charles and Ray Eames stamps, particularly the design community, including art design students, educators and other postal stakeholders.

Nationally, PAC has worked with the Eames Office and Herman Miller galleries to identify museums and galleries where Eames work can be found. If there are museums or Herman Miller galleries near you, please involve them in your planning process.

To schedule an event in a museum, start first with the PR contact on the list included in this kit. Ask if tickets could be made available to attendees to tour the museum as part of the event.

The Eames stamps provide an opportunity for outreach to local colleges and university art design departments. Contact the dean of the art department and ask to meet with him/her to discuss the Charles and Ray Eames stamps. Ask if the art department is interested in hosting an on-campus event that brings working designers and art design students together. Suggest a mix-and-mingle format and schedule the event at a time that will maximize news coverage potential. Don’t forget the student newspaper to promote the event. This event might include an introduction of the stamp designs by the postmaster, along with a panel discussion of modern design with local artists and educators serving as panelists.

POSTAL BULLETIN 22233 (5-22-08)

Sponsor or host a design challenge for students at the local high school, community college or art school to draw/sketch/create and photograph an original piece. Turn the winning design into a piece of customized postage that the school or local Post Office™ could sell. The winning design also could be turned into a premium postcard or greeting card through the CardStore at www.usps.com.

There has been tremendous interest in USPS Art Director and Designer Derry Noyes who designed the Eames stamps and knew the designers personally. She is available for media interviews upon request. If a media outlet is interested in interviewing Ms. Noyes, please contact Michael Woods (michael.p.woods@usps.gov, 202-268-7236).

Form an event team consisting of the local postmaster, customer relations coordinator and district Marketing staff, and PAC representative.

Order stamp enlargements or framed stamp art and lapel pins for the event, and determine if the local Post Office is interested in making the stamps available for sale at the event.

Field Public Affairs and Communications Managers Once an event is scheduled, please contact Michael Woods (michael.p.woods@usps.gov, 202-268-7236) who is coordinating Eames events nationwide.

CHARLES AND RAY EAMES STAMPS PUBLICITY KIT

Charles and Ray Eames Stamps Backgrounder

In June, the Postal Service will dedicate a pane of 16 stamps to honor designers Charles and Ray Eames. Perhaps best known for their furniture, they were husband and wife as well as design partners. Their extraordinary body of creative work — reflecting the nation’s youthful and inventive outlook after World War II — also included architecture, films and exhibits. The Eameses used new materials and technology to create high-quality products that addressed everyday problems and made modern design including molded plywood chairs available to the American public. Charles Ormond Eames, Jr., was born in St. Louis, Missouri, June 17, 1907. He studied architecture briefly at Washington University in St. Louis. He worked as an architect before joining the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, in 1938, first as a student, and then as an instructor and administrator. Bernice Alexandra Kaiser was born on December 15, 1912, in Sacramento, California. She studied abstract painting in New York City, where she was nicknamed “Ray” before leaving Manhattan for the Cranbrook Academy in 1940. (She officially changed her name to Ray in 1954.) When Charles and Ray met in 1940, they realized that they shared a strong belief in the philosophy that design could improve modern living. They quickly formed an artistic partnership that transcended both architecture and painting and was distinguished by a fascination with structure, science and technology, as well as a keen design sensibility and eye for detail. According to their grandson, Eames Demetrios, it was “a meeting of minds as well as of hearts”. They married in June 1941 and moved to Los Angeles the following month, eager to continue their design experiments in a region known for its technological innovation. Two years later, they established what would become

CHARLES AND RAY EAMES STAMPS PUBLICITY KIT “The Office of Charles and Ray Eames”. Located in a large warehouse in Venice, California, the Eames Office (as it is more commonly known) was the center of Eames design ingenuity for more than 40 years. One of their most popular designs was the molded plywood chair. Introduced in 1946, the chair was massproduced using a method for bending or molding plywood that the Eameses had developed during the 1940s. The molded plywood chair was affordable, comfortable and could be used in virtually any setting, qualities inherent in most pieces of Eames furniture. In the years that followed, Charles and Ray created other attractive and durable pieces, and they pioneered the use of plastic, aluminum and wire mesh in modern furniture. By 1978, they had put more than 40 designs into production, including sofas, tables, storage units and airport seating. The design duo demonstrated that innovations made by wartime industries could also be adapted for residential architecture. In 1949, the Eames Office completed its design of Case Study House #8. Located in Pacific Palisades, California, the house was erected quickly using prefabricated parts available at much lower cost than traditional wood. It was part of a program developed by Arts & Architecture magazine to create single-family homes from materials and technologies developed during World War II. The award-winning design was praised around the world for its beauty and harmony with the surrounding environment, and it confirmed that modern architecture could be both attractive and affordable. The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in September 2006. Interested in images as an effective means of communication, Charles and Ray Eames began making slide shows and short films in the 1950s. In 1959, they produced Glimpses of the USA, a multi-screen presentation that featured a collage of images of the United States during a typical day. The film, which emphasized the beauty in the similarities and differences between peoples, was shown to great acclaim at a public exhibition in Moscow. Other films, such as Tops (1969) and Powers of Ten (1977), imaginatively merged art and science for a popular audience. The couple made more than 125 films between 1950 and 1978. They also designed more than 10 richly detailed museum exhibits about science, technology, history and other cultures. According to Charles Eames, he and Ray believed that the role of the designer is essentially that of a good host, anticipating the needs of the guest. Today most of their furniture and many of their products are still being made and can be found in private homes and public spaces across the country. More importantly, Charles and Ray Eames lived as they worked, devoting their days and nights to sharing their sense of wonder and encouraging all of us to live creatively.

POSTAL BULLETIN 22233 (5-22-08)

Charles Eames died in St. Louis, Missouri, on August 21, 1978. Ray died in Los Angeles, California, on the same day in 1988.

About the Stamps The objects that appear on the stamps were selected from hundreds of items created by Charles and Ray Eames and represent the breadth of their extraordinary body of creative work.

Christmas Card Charles and Ray Eames delighted friends and family during the holiday season with Christmas cards they designed themselves. The photograph they used in 1944 displays their affection and playful sense of humor. Ray mischievously holds an ornament above Charles’ head. Behind them stands one of a number of molded plywood sculptures they created during the 1940s.

Crosspatch Fabric Design Crosspatch is one of two fabric designs submitted by the couple to a 1947 competition sponsored by The Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The colorful rows of blocks filled with either a cross or a dot recall traditional quilt designs as well as Ray’s love of abstract art. She created the pattern in 1945.

Stacking Chairs Introduced in 1955, these stacking chairs feature singleshell seats made of plastic that comfortably support the body. Available in a variety of colors, the chairs are noted for their versatility. The simple design allows them to be stacked for storage or linked together in horizontal rows, a useful solution for temporary seating in public places.

Case Study House #8 The house was completed in 1949 as part of a program to create affordable homes out of materials and technology developed during World War II. Located in Pacific Palisades, California, the house is composed of two twostory structures made of steel and glass and connected by an open court. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006.

Wire-Base Table Charles and Ray Eames experimented with the use of wire rods in furniture for several years before introducing the wire-base table in 1950. The table features a plywood top supported by two, U-shaped wire rods and steadied with metal cross-bracing. Portable and practical, the petite table was ready for use anytime, indoors or outdoors.

POSTAL BULLETIN 22233 (5-22-08)

Lounge Chair and Ottoman A recognizable symbol of 20th-century design, the lounge chair and ottoman modernized the traditional English armchair. Each piece is made of a molded plywood shell set atop a swivel base. Padded cushions add the “warm, receptive look of a well-used first baseman’s mitt” that Charles Eames was trying to achieve. The 1956 design was an instant bestseller.

Hang-It-All The Hang-It-All was designed in 1953 as an accessory for a playroom or child’s bedroom. The whimsical piece is made of several wire rods bent into hooks and capped with colorful wooden balls. Secured to the wall, the Hang-It-All could hold just about anything a child wanted it to.

La Chaise Charles and Ray Eames submitted La Chaise to the 1948 International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture Design sponsored by The Museum of Modern Art in New York. The chair’s deep curves echo contemporary sculptures and can hold one or several people comfortably. Although only a fiberglass prototype was made at the time, La Chaise has become a design icon.

Tops The designers used their own collection of tops to make this 1969 film. Without narration or text, Tops explores the physical and artistic beauty of a simple children’s toy. For 7 minutes and 15 seconds, more than 100 tops from around the world dance and whirl across the screen to a score composed by Elmer Bernstein.

Wire Mesh Chair Light and easily portable, the wire mesh chair has a seat of woven wire shaped to fit the contours of the human body. Thick wire rods form a sturdy base. Introduced by the Eames Office in 1951, it was the first piece of American furniture to receive a mechanical patent.

Magazine Cover Ray Eames created this cover for the May 1943 issue of California Arts & Architecture, an avant-garde design magazine based in Los Angeles. Fresh and contemporary, the design reflects Ray’s background in abstract art as well as the magazine’s commitment to modernism. She designed more than 25 covers for the magazine during the 1940s.

House of Cards The House of Cards best demonstrates the designers’ ethos of taking pleasure seriously. Developed in 1952, the deck consists of 54 playing cards decorated with a starburst on one side and a photograph on the other. Interlocking slots on the sides of each card invite children and adults

CHARLES AND RAY EAMES STAMPS PUBLICITY KIT to free their imaginations and build whatever their hearts desire.

Molded Plywood Sculpture During the 1940s, Charles and Ray Eames experimented with a method for molding or bending pieces of wood in different directions. This abstract plywood sculpture was one of many they created as they experimented with the process. Once they had perfected the method, they used it to produce durable furniture made of molded wood.

Eames Storage Unit Charles and Ray Eames introduced the Eames Storage Unit (ESU) in 1950 as a sleek and practical solution to home and office organization. Not only was the ESU affordable, it was also customizable. The components of this modular cabinet, made of chrome-plated steel and plywood, were available in a variety of standard heights, widths and colors.

Aluminum Group Chair The Aluminum Group Chair offered an affordable option for those seeking high-quality indoor-outdoor seating for the home or office. The fabric of the chair’s sling seat is stretched around the frame, making it sturdy and comfortable. Introduced by the Eames Office in 1958, the Aluminum Group collection also includes tables and an ottoman.

Molded Plywood Chair The molded plywood chair was affordable, comfortable and could be used in virtually any setting, qualities inherent in most pieces of Eames furniture. It was also one of the Eameses’ most popular designs. Introduced in 1946, the chair was mass-produced using a method for bending or molding plywood that they had developed during the 1940s.
