Outdoor furniture supplier Brown Jordan’s Connexion collection designed by Richard Frinier has been honored with a Good Design award from the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design in conjunction with The European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies.
This award is the second time Brown Jordan and Frinier have won the award for their collaborative designs.
“We are very proud to receive this distinguished award of design excellence for Connexion,” said Stephen F. Elton, senior vice president of sales and branding. “The collection has been well received in the marketplace since it was launched, because of its versatility and ability to be customized. It is an honor to have the design acknowledged by one of the oldest and most prestigious architecture and design award programs in the industry.”
Connexion is designed for comfort and versatility in arrangement allowing for the effortless composition of compelling and functional indoor/outdoor gathering areas for residential, contract and hospitality settings. The collection’s sectional, individual modular units, club chair and tables may be used in endless configurations to become the go-to place for entertaining.
“Connexion seems to have arrived at the right time, when conversation areas for indoor/outdoor living are becoming the destination,” Frinier said. “The unique and infinite ways in which this collection may be stylized for spaces is limitless. You can build modest to impressive seating areas by simply connecting or disconnecting the individual modular pieces, which may be easily moved around and about to accommodate changing needs from day to day.”
