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.
Designer Profile
Mario Bellini
Mario Bellini is the epitome of Italian cool. Not content with reinventing his personal style every couple of years he also also coined a wide range of iconic designs from the flat-packable Chiara floor lamp to the cocooning curves of the Camaleonda. Never one to rest on his laurels, we’re hard-pressed to think of anyone who has left such an indelible mark on contemporary design. One of the many reasons we’re delighted to showcase his styles online or in-store at Chaplins.
