Herman Miller Collection Armin Hofmann 1962 Original Poster MOMA Swiss MCM

An extraordinary piece of Mid-Century Modern (MCM) design history, this original 1962 Herman Miller Collectionposter was created by legendary Swiss graphic designer Armin Hofmann to promote Herman Miller's groundbreaking furniture collection. Today, this iconic design is part of The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) permanent collection and is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of Swiss Modern graphic design and Mid-Century Modern advertising.

Unlike the licensed Herman Miller reproductions released in recent years, this is an authentic first printing from 1962, acquired directly from the estate of a longtime Herman Miller employee. Its provenance, originality, and outstanding condition make it an exceptional acquisition for collectors of Herman Miller, Eames, Mid-Century Modern furniture, and museum-quality graphic design.

Featuring Hofmann's bold abstract interpretation of the iconic Eames chair silhouette paired with striking red typography, the poster perfectly embodies the clean lines, simplicity, and timeless aesthetic that define the Mid-Century Modern movement.

TREASURE HUNTER'S NOTE

Few names are as synonymous with Mid-Century Modern design as Herman Miller. During the 1950s and 1960s, the company collaborated with design legends including Charles & Ray Eames, George Nelson, Alexander Girard, and Isamu Noguchi, producing furniture that continues to define modern interiors around the world. Armin Hofmann's promotional posters became visual extensions of that same philosophy—minimal, functional, and instantly recognizable.

Produced during the golden age of Mid-Century Modern design in 1962, this poster celebrates Herman Miller's revolutionary furniture collection through Hofmann's unmistakable Swiss Modern style. The layered abstract chair forms reference the iconic Eames seating designs that have become staples of museums, architecture, and interior design worldwide.

Today, this design is included in MoMA's permanent collection, and Herman Miller has reproduced it because of its lasting influence and demand. However, this is the genuine 1962 first printing, not a later reproduction. Coming directly from the estate of a former Herman Miller employee and preserved in exceptional condition, it represents a rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of Mid-Century Modern history—perfect for collectors of Herman Miller, Eames, Bauhaus, Swiss graphic design, architecture, and museum-quality MCM décor.
