Product Information
Description
Gio, designed by Antonio Citterio, is the new series with a contemporary twist, dedicated to living in the open air.
A complete range of sofas, end units, chaise longue, sunbeds, armchairs, chairs, tables and complements which have been developed from a solid teak structures with a special antique grey finish, which gives the wood a particular lived-in aspect and silver-grey reflective quality. They all have a basic structure of wooden slats where backrests and armrests, characterised by and interlacing of tortora ribbons, can be easily inserted. This particular type of structure allows for easily disassemble the various components, so to reduce the space needed to store the products in winter.
The seats are equipped with seat and back cushions that makes the Gio series particularly cosy and comfortable, and offer exclusive colour combinations. To ensure a better insulation from the weather, all the padded elements have a polyester cover with waterproof treatment, and the fabrics are certified for resistance to weathering, UV rays, chlorine and sea spray.

Price Promise
Our Price Promise
We know that price is important. And while all of our designs follow the recommended retail prices (RRP) from our suppliers, we’re determined never to be bested.
It’s why we decided to introduce our Chaplins Price Promise. A guarantee to try and match the price of a branded product should you find it on sale at another authorised UK retailer. While the offer only applies to new designs (rather than clearance, outlets or ex-display) it’s our way of showing that we don’t just offer the best in service or style, but are committed to competitive pricing, too.
Please click on the button below should you wish to query a price. If a competitor's offer isn't immediately apparent online, we may ask you to supply us with a written quotation from the retailer — just to confirm the details.
And remember, Chaplins newsletter subscribers get an exclusive first order discount when they sign up. All of the details of which you can find in the footer below.
