Product Information
Description
Bestlite started production in the 30s and has been in continuous production ever since. The Bestlite range was created by acclaimed designer Robert Dudley Best, gaining influence from the Bauhaus.
Bauhaus was a school in Weimar, Germany that aimed to combine practical crafts with the fine arts and gained fame for design concepts that it published and taught. Bauhaus had a large influence on developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design and industrial design and created a new wave of Modernist architecture and modern design.
Eighty years later, the Bestlite collection has stayed close to its roots and kept true to its industrial original design. Winston Churchill was a famous Bestlite enthusiast and the Bestlite has been granted a permanent place in both the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Design Museum in London.

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.
