Combining two い-adjectives without using て


In the JLU chat, Flaw recently typed up some instructions printed on a
Japanese product. Here's what they said:

> 直射日光の当たらない涼しい所に保管してください

It appears that `所` is modified by two phrases:

  * 直射日光の当たらない "not in direct sunlight"
  * 涼しい "cool"

But they aren't joined by `て`. It doesn't say `直射日光の当たらなくて涼しい`. I can't find
any information on joining two adjectives like this, without using `て`. Is it
grammatical to combine them this way? Is it different from using `て`?

I've seen forms like `すごい高い` before, but I thought that was just a non-
standard way of saying `すごく高い`. This seems like it's different.




Similar to @istrasci, I can't think of any other explanation except that
`涼しい所` is being modified by `直射日光の当たらない`, and that there isn't any "and" in
this sentence, in this case I think the noun phrase `涼しい所` is being modified
by the relative clause `直射日光の当たらない`:

> **直射日光の当たらない** 涼しい所  
>  "A cool place **_[which/that]_ isn't exposed to direct sunlight**"

On the other hand, I think `直射日光の当たらなくて涼しい` would be:

> **直射日光の当たらなくて涼しい** 所  
>  "A place **_[which/that]_ isn't exposed to direct sunlight and is cool**"

Which I think sounds more clunky in English, I think it might in Japanese too.
(BTW, `直射日光の当たらない涼しい場所に保管してください` is on

as "Store in a cool place avoiding direct sunlight", and I think it's pretty
standard.)
