The HAG Capisco range revolutionises active sitting with its iconic saddle seat design. Whether you are using a standard desk or a sit-to-stand workstation, these chairs encourage movement and multiple sitting positions to keep you energised throughout the day.
Selecting the perfect saddle chair depends on your daily work habits and environment. The classic Capisco 8106 offers full upholstery for maximum comfort during long hours. If you prefer a firmer, more modern aesthetic, the Capisco Puls 8010 features a durable plastic shell with an integrated seat pad. For those who need extra neck support during intense focus sessions, the Capisco 8107 includes a fully adjustable headrest.
Maximising the benefits of active sitting
The unique design of the HAG Capisco encourages you to change your posture frequently. You can sit facing forward, sideways or even backwards to stretch your chest. To get the most out of your chair, pair it with sit to stand desks so you can seamlessly transition between sitting and half-standing. Adding monitor arms ensures your screen is always at the correct height, while exploring other task chairs can help you find the perfect ergonomic setup for your entire office.

The saddle seat design opens your hip angle and encourages a natural upright posture. This reduces strain on your lower back and allows for greater freedom of movement. It is a core feature of the Capisco 8106 and helps maintain your energy levels.
Can I use a HAG Capisco with a standard height desk?
Yes, you can use these chairs with standard desks. However, they truly excel when paired with sit to stand desks, as the chair supports a half-standing position that is ideal for higher work surfaces.
What is the difference between the Capisco and the Capisco Puls?
The main difference is the material. The Capisco 8106 is fully upholstered for softer support, while the Capisco Puls 8010 has a moulded plastic seat with a comfortable central cushion, making it lighter and easier to clean.
Does the HAG Capisco come with a headrest?
Most models do not include a headrest to encourage active movement. However, if you require neck support, the Capisco 8107 comes equipped with an adjustable headrest for those moments when you need to lean back and relax.
How do I adjust the seat depth on my chair?
You can easily adjust the seat depth using the lever located under the seat pan. Proper adjustment ensures your thighs are supported without putting pressure on the back of your knees. This feature is standard across the HAG range.
Are these chairs suitable for all-day use?
Absolutely. The dynamic ergonomics of the Capisco 8106 are designed to keep you moving, which prevents stiffness and fatigue during long workdays. They are an excellent alternative to traditional executive chairs.
