Steven Frykholm
It's my understanding that Steve Frykholm still does the annual picnic posters for Herman Miller.

Frykholm
Frykholm stopped designing the picnic posters several years ago. He does still work for HM, but the picnic posters now fall to other graphic designers.

HM picnic poster chronology
I contacted my pal Brian Edlefson, who gave me the skinny on the picnic posters:
"The first 20 posters were designed by Steve Frykholm (1970-1989). The second 11 were designed by Kathy Stanton (1990-2000). I designed the next 5 (2001-2006); followed by Andy Dull, who produced the last 2 (2007, 2008)."

That seems about the right...
That seems about the right price . I have seen such a a wide spread on the posters. I was wondering if these posters are limited editions or if someone keeps printing them.

herman miller factory store in zeeland
has/had piles of the 1990's and 2000's picnic posters for $10 each. Or maybe it was $20. I picked up several (the car, the croquet balls, etc.), along with the red T-shirts.
Should have bought that armchair too....

Hello,
I own a signed copy of the Watermelon Picnic poster which I have been considering to sell. I got it at a HM event where I met Stephen Frykholm. If you are still looking for the poster email me at pennyelizabeth at hotmail.com.
Cheers
