Herman Miller Christmas Party Poster, "O Tannenbaum," December 17, 1977

Summary

Linda Powell began designing posters for the Herman Miller Christmas Party in 1976, the same year she was hired at the company as an internal graphic designer. She designed eight Christmas Party posters over four years. The 1977 Party theme was "German Christmas," so Powell featured the German Christmas song "O Tannenbaum" ("O Christmas Tree") with a tree made of 3-dimensional die cut ornaments.
