When you combine adjectives with the て-form does it imply a relationship between them?

For example, if I said...

きれいで静かな町

Does that mean there's a relationship between きれい and 静か (like the relationship that happens when you combine two verbs with the て-form)? Or do the two adjectives work totally separately like in english (a tall, serious man)?

Answer

Yes, the two work separately. There is no relationship between them. When you combine adjectives with the て-form, you are just linking them, so the meaning is "beautiful and quiet town".
