BROWN JORDAN’S CONNEXION COLLECTION, designed by Richard Frinier, received 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 achievement marks the second time that Brown Jordan and Frinier have garnered a Good Design award together for their distinctive and innovative designs.

Stephen F. Elton, senior vice president of sales and branding, says, “We are very proud to receive this distinguished award of design excellence for Connexion. 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 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 can be used in endless configurations— to become the go-to place for extended hours of entertaining or for quiet enjoyment and relaxation.

Frinier says, “Connexion seems to have arrived at the right time, when conversation areas for indoor/outdoor living are becoming the destination. 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 to accommodate changing needs from day to day.”
