Product Description
An iconic ergonomic saddle chair designed for active sitting and constant movement.
The HÅG Capisco 8106 supports upright posture at sitting, perching, or standing desks.
Originally designed in 1984 by legendary Norwegian designer Peter Opsvik, the HÅG Capisco 8106 is one of the most recognizable and forward-thinking ergonomic chairs ever created. Built around the idea that “the best posture is always the next one,” Capisco encourages constant movement rather than static sitting.
Its iconic saddle-inspired seat opens the hip angle, helping extend the spine, open the chest, and promote an upright, balanced posture. The unique backrest allows you to sit facing forward, sideways, or even backwards—supporting dynamic work habits throughout the day.
Designed to work seamlessly with traditional desks and sit-stand workstations, the Capisco 8106 supports sitting, perching, and semi-standing positions. Trademarked HÅG in Balance® technology allows natural micro-movement, helping reduce fatigue and improve comfort during long work sessions.
Sustainability is built into the design. The HÅG Capisco is made with over 50% recycled materials, is 90% recyclable, and is designed for easy disassembly. It is a long-term ergonomic investment backed by an industry-leading warranty.
