Manifesto
Connect will work today to ensure future generations a fertile ground for the continued cultivation and evolution of conscious capitalism. Our professional and personal lives are grounded in positive exchange. Connect will only select partnerships that focus on social, environmental, and humanitarian solutions.
Collections and our Retail Showroom
Connect is one of only two retailers in the world to stock the majority of Nau's collection. Our other collections are founded on sustainability and social responsibility. We also stock customized sustainable furniture placed for real-time utilization and available for purchase. If you like the way our goods fit, look, and feel you can order through our interactive showroom. Your purchase will be shipped to you in just a couple of days via bike messenger. Of course, if you want instant gratification, we have the inventory for you to carry out. Our art gallery inspired location in the Wicker Park/ Bucktown neighborhood is a new ground shopping adventure that will be sure to inspire. For more information on the location and showroom hours please go to our contact page.
