Today in Santa Monica, California, the Postal Service issued 42-cent commemorative stamps honoring Charles and Ray Eames in a commemorative sheet featuring 16 different designs. I feel the Plastic Side Chair with the Eiffel tower base designed by Charles & Ray Eames in 1948 should have been included in the sheet of stamps. It was the first plastic chair to be mass-produced. "The current model is an exact reproduction of the original, with a clean, simple form that is sculpted to fit the body. The shell is manufactured using an environmentally friendly, high-impact plastic." Made by Herman Miller. Materials: polypropylene seat shell, dyed through, chrome-plated steel base; plastic glides. Available in five colors: red, white, black, light blue, and lime green.

18.5"w x 22"d x 31.125"h.
