Andy Rementer designs 3D printing-inspired stamps for San Marino

Here’s some things you probably didn’t know about the tiny Republic of San Marino. It has no railway. Its 33,00 citizens enjoy one of the highest life expectancies in the world. It is famous for its stamps, which are widely collected by philatelists, or stamp collectors. This last revelation is the one that concerns us here, because we found out yesterday that illustrator, artist and long-time friend of the site Andy Rementer has just designed a set of stamps for The Philatelic and Numismatic Bureau of San Marino, themed around fantastical interpretations of 3D printing.

Andy was approached by Omar Vulpinari (with whom he worked at Fabrica) and wanted to ensure the stamps both responded to the brief and worked as a set. “I tried to find a way for the stamps to communicate with each other visually, as well as respond to various aspects of 3D printing,” he said. “San Marino is highly regarded for its stamps, so it was a true privilege.”

Whether you’re a stamp aficionado or looking for a cost-effective way to own an Andy Rementer artwork, you can buy the stamps here.
