The traditional office chair forces you into a single, static posture. It dictates how you sit, when you move, and ultimately, how you work. The HÅG Capisco challenges this convention entirely.
Designed by Peter Opsvik in 1984, the Capisco was built on a simple premise: the best sitting position is always the next one. It remains the only chair on the market that actively encourages you to sit forwards, backwards, sideways, and everywhere in between.
The Capisco brings colour and movement to any workspace.
The Saddle Seat Advantage
The distinctive saddle seat is the core of the Capisco's design. It opens your hip angle, which naturally aligns your spine and reduces strain on your lower back. This posture mimics the neutral stance of a horseback rider, keeping you balanced and alert without the fatigue associated with traditional 90-degree sitting.
This open posture also improves blood circulation and breathing, which is crucial for maintaining focus during long hours at a desk.
Built for Sit-to-Stand Workspaces
As height-adjustable desks become the standard in Australian offices, the Capisco has proven to be the ideal companion. Most ergonomic chairs are designed for a standard desk height and fail to support you when you raise your desk halfway. The Capisco thrives in this transition zone.
With its unique shape and high gas lift options, you can seamlessly shift from a low sitting position to a semi-standing perch. This allows you to rest your legs while maintaining the health benefits of standing.
A Sustainable Investment
Beyond its ergonomic benefits, the HÅG Capisco is a pioneer in sustainable manufacturing. HÅG has been using recycled materials in the Capisco since the 1990s. Today, the chair is made with recycled post-consumer plastic and is designed for easy disassembly and recycling at the end of its life.
When you choose a Capisco, you are investing in a chair that is built to last a career, backed by a 10-year warranty, and manufactured with deep respect for the environment.
The Capisco pairs naturally with any height-adjustable desk.
