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
Florence Knoll
Florence Knoll studied Architecture at the Kingswood School on the campus of the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan, where she became EERO SARRINEN'S protégé. She pursued her education in Architecture at the Architectural Association in London and the Armour Institute (Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago). A year after the Second World War she became a full business and design partner and married Hans Knoll. The two created Knoll Associates who have pioneered modernist vision to bold contemporary designs for home and office.
Brand Profile
Knoll
For nearly 80 years Knoll has remained true to the Bauhaus design philosophy; Adaptive, inspiring, evolutionary and enduring. A long history of collaborations, with pioneering modernists to bold contemporary designers, define not only the past but the future of Knoll with David Rockwell, Antenna Design, Barber Osgerby, Formway Design, Don Chadwick, David Adjaye, and Rem Koolhaas. They offer thoughtful, inventive products which respond to their environment and can transcend multiple generations.
