Artifact Overview
In 1990, Herman Miller graphic designer Kathy Stanton took over the reins from Steve Frykholm to design the poster for the furniture company's annual employee summer picnic. While Frykholm's picnic posters focused on the food at the picnic, Stanton's designs were inspired by the activities available to the employees and their families. Stanton would design 11 picnic posters, one each year until 2000.

The 1945 musical Carousel was Rodgers & Hammerstein's attempt to follow up on the spectacular success of their 1943 musical Oklahoma! Adapted from the 1909 Hungarian play Liliom, the Americanized Carousel revolves around a carousel barker's romance with a female millworker. The song "If I Loved You" involves the characters' hesitant admittance of love for one another.
