OVVO

The OVVO connection system is an award-winning, 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 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. It is an invisible solution with one element embedded in the material while the interlocking, self-clamping clip forms a tightly held bond between the two pieces of material being joined.
