Replique and Siena Garden celebrate 1000 3D printed foot caps for garden chairs

Replique and Siena Garden collaborate to produce over 1000 3D printed foot caps, transforming garden chairs and promoting a circular economy by incorporating the REPAIR pillar of the 4 R's of Sustainability.

A wide variety of spare parts for garden furniture are produced through the Replique platform.

This follows their "Eternal Spare Parts" concept started less than 2 years ago, that promotes sustainability by offering continuous replacement parts for garden furniture, extending the product lifespan and reducing waste. With the arrival of Earth Overshoot Day already on August 2nd this year, a reminder of the urgency to live within our planet's ecological limits, this milestone gains added significance.

The seamless integration of Replique's 3D printing platform allows spare parts to be produced on-demand and locally, eliminating excessive inventory and avoiding huge minimum order quantities.



Foot caps like these enable you to repair garden chairs and keep them in their best condition. Original foot cap on the left, 3D-printed redesigned foot cap on the right.

This not only reduces costs for Siena Garden, it also enhances customer satisfaction with improved aftermarket services. In addition to foot caps, the Siena Garden webshop offers other repair parts, such as handles, connecting and moving parts, designed for Holywood swings and garden loungers.

This case shows that even for small everyday parts, 3D printing can make a huge difference, beyond just huge machinery. Without the technology, these spare parts would remain unavailable, leaving garden furniture looking worn or thrown away.

Peter Benthues, CDO of H. Gautzsch Firmengruppe, the parent company of Siena Garden, remarked, "The collaboration with Replique has been another important step in our commitment to environmental responsibility and customer satisfaction. This milestone reinforces our pursuit of delivering long-lasting products."

Henrike Wonneberger, COO and co-founder of Replique, expressed her excitement, "We are thrilled to celebrate this milestone with Siena Garden. By offering on-demand production without the burden of stockpiling and promoting repair, we aim to make a positive impact on our planet, one part at a time.”
