In 1970, Herman Miller hired its first in-house graphic designer, a bright-eyed Cranbrook graduate named Steven Frykholm. Among his initial assignments was the task of designing a poster to promote the company's annual summer picnic. The resulting poster would spark an ambitious series of strikingly vibrant posters animating all the joys of the summer season.
The picnic posters are so highly regarded as exceptional examples of graphic design and Pop Art that they have since made it into many prestigious museum collections including The Museum of Modern Art New York, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and The Smithsonian's Cooper Hewitt Design Museum, and firmly landed him on the short list of Herman Miller's illustrious design alumni. Frykholm's impressive tenure at the company nearly 50 years stands as a testament to his remarkable creativity and singular design aesthetic.
