Exercise 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. Linda Powell’s 1979 poster designed to advertise the Ergon Chair (1976) typifies Herman Miller’s commitment to ergonomic excellence. Powell illustrated the seated exercises, such as “Tiptoe while seated, using the chair’s rocking motion,” with a simple human form outlined in three bright colors to depict movement.
