The OVVO Connection System is an innovative product that enables a new way to join finished board products invisibly, while also eliminating the lengthy assembly times typically associated with flat-pack furniture assembly. 

The Connection System is the brainchild of Sean Phillips, company director and inventor. Having owned and operated his own furniture-making company for over 20 years, the recent recession afforded Sean the opportunity to invest time in developing the concept, and the results are truly revolutionary.
 
The OVVO Connection System will eliminate hours of frustration that comes with flat pack assembly, there will be no more use for tools, glues or screws. The concept is a push fit solution that allows two pieces of material to join together easily without the use of tools, glues or screws.
 
The action is simple, all you have to do is ‘push’ them together and wait for the ‘click’ which indicates that the ‘connection’ has been made.
