I checked the official German store and they did not offer any replacement parts there, or at least I could not find any.
Also, modularity is not that much more expensive to the point where you have to pay thousands of bucks for a chair. That’s a bullshit argument. Every single office chair is assembled at home, even the cheapest ones.
The manufacturer not offering the same parts separately is simply a marketing strategy so that you have to buy a whole fucking chair again.
The extra parts still need to be built and stored in order to offer them, that’s a huge increase in cost because it makes the difference between manufacturing and shipping and manufacturing, storing and shipping. Storage space ain’t free buddy.
It’s just a small shift in storage / management. Those parts are already stored separately before they get packaged into a box with all the other parts. This does not warrant a few hundred bucks, let alone a 1000-2000 bucks uptick. Please stop with those bullshit arguments.
