AIGA Philadelphia is proud to present the iconic Herman Miller Picnic Poster Series by Stephen Frykholm.

Known for his time as Vice President of Creative Design at furniture company Herman Miller, Frykholm started in 1970 as the company's first in-house graphic designer, and launched his career with a giant ear of sweet corn. Come see the vibrant posters of this legendary designer, and AIGA Medalist, up close at Bluecadet. A First Friday reception will be held on September 1. (Collection provided by Ray Nichols and Jill Cypher.)
