Sweet Corn Picnic Poster by Herman Miller

People often ask where they can find the bold ads and graphic artworks on the walls of our office spaces, which prompted us to reprint select pieces from our archives. The Sweet Corn Picnic Poster was the first of 20 posters designed for Herman Miller’s annual employee picnic, and the first assignment given to Stephen Frykholm, who’d just been hired as the company’s first in-house graphic designer. Frykholm went on to have a 45-year career at Herman Miller and his series of Picnic Posters is now included in the permanent collections of MoMA and many other museums worldwide.
