They say that good things come in small packages. And the Novelist is no exception. All light lines and plush finishes, it reveals the plushness of fine Italian styling in a wonderfully reduced format. Hidden inside the desktop are two side drawers and a stationary compartment — perfect for rooms that are short on space but could use a visually light workstation in which to get down to business.

    Description

    The essence of the Novelist desk, designed by Christophe Pillet, lies in its name - inspired by the great creatives of times gone by. Striking a delicate balance between simplicity and complexity, Novelist’s materials and aesthetics incorporate a contemporary feel to what is an elegant piece that can take centre stage in any space. The base features two criss-crossed legs in shiny chrome-plated metal, supporting the stunning Canaletto walnut top. Despite its reduced thickness, the top features two-side drawers and a stationery compartment, with a hide handset to underscore the retro feel.

    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.

Brand Profile

Lema

Italian excellence from start to finish, few companies have roots so firmly established in dignity. In the 1930s Angelo Meroni opened an artisan furniture workshop that enchanted his two sons who later in the 1970s founded Lema, moving what their father started to more industrial practice. With strong ties to the design world, Lema guarantees masterful furniture that excels in form and function without compromise. From curvaceous poufs to stately silhouettes, Lema is a treasure chest of elegance.
