Write a letter. Stamp it in style.

Yes, there is a purpose for snail mail: To use the new Eames stamps, coming on June 17. Design blogs are abuzz about this new issue of 16 stamps commemorating designers Charles and Ray Eames and highlighting, among other iconic images, their molded plywood lounge chair, stacking side chairs, house of cards children’s game, and colorful “hang-it-all.” So if you can’t afford the coveted Eames lounge chair and ottoman — starting at $3,599 — you can gaze at a 41 cent stamp of the same.
