Behold, a resurrection from 1971 – Pierre Paulin's masterwork designed exclusively for the hushed chambers of Claude & Georges Pompidou at the illustrious Elysée Palace. Now, this iconic piece dubbed 'Pumpkin' emerges from history's shadows into the spotlight of large-scale production. A testament to Paulin's avant-garde flair birthed in the late 1950s, this design, reminiscent of an expansive pumpkin, envelops its admirers in an embrace both grandly opulent and opulently guarding.

If your order cannot be delivered due to restricted access, you may request delivery to an alternative address within 2 months - please note that this will incur costs for storage and redelivery.
For items that cannot fit into the room of choice through conventional delivery means, we can deliver via platform hoist, ropes or crane with a surcharge. Our third-party fitters are trained to remove wooden and UPVC sash windows.

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.
