What’s truly timeless tends to never go out of style, be it Herman Miller’s instantly recognizable chairs, a stylish coffee table or a series of just-unveiled posters celebrating the iconic design company.

Herman Miller tapped into its archive for the first in its 2024 poster release series, debuting a series of vivid, colorful and engaging designs spanning two decades (from the 1960s to the 1980s).

Everything from Herman Miller brochure covers to the Herman Miller quarterly publication “Ideas” are given the spotlight in vivid fashion, while Herman Miller modular seating is also a focus of multiple collection pieces.

Of the collection, Herman Miller noted that “a diverse group of graphic designers defined the spirit of their time while contributing to Herman Miller’s distinctive visual identity,” adding that each poster is a “faithful reprint” of a series of iconic designs.

A 1981 Chadwick modular seating poster, celebrating the work of Steve Frykholm, arrives in time to celebrate five decades this year of the seating system.

The visually striking Wilkes Modular Sofa Group Poster arrives from the Herman Miller archives and “The Big Book,” a series of 44 posters showcasing brand offerings in its showrooms (in a way only Herman Miller can stylishly depict, of course).

Bold colors and distinctive swooping lines add some pop to the Action Office 2 poster offering from the new collection, a nod to famed Herman Miller graphic designer John Massey’s original work.

The high-resolution digital print, delivered on 100 percent cotton paper, “is a reflection of the sharply defined style Massey brought to Herman Miller communications,” the company said.
