British Design Classics

The United Kingdom produced many iconic designs in the 20th Century, and to celebrate that, Royal Mail is launching the 2009 Special Stamp program.
This program recognizes ten British design classics, from the distinctive lines of RJ Mitchell’s Spitfire fighter and the stylish chic of Mary Quant’s daring mini skirt to the calm of the Penguin Books jacket and the practicality of Robin Day’s Polypropylene chair.
The stamps will be available on January 13, 2009. You can download a preview of British Design Classics (a 3MB PDF) here.
