HAG Capisco

The HAG Capisco is not just an office chair. It’s a design icon that redefined how we sit.

Designed by Peter Opsvik and refined over more than 40 years, the HÅG Capisco collection is built around one simple idea: movement is essential. Inspired by the dynamic posture of horseback riders, the iconic saddle seat encourages active sitting, open hip angles, and constant variation, whether you sit low, perch high, or work almost standing.

What is the difference between the HAG Capisco models?

The Capisco 8106 and 8107 feature a fully upholstered seat and backrest, offering a softer, more premium feel. The Capisco Puls 8010 and 8020, by contrast, have a plastic backrest with a partially upholstered seat, making them a lighter and more minimalist option.

Discover the key differences between the Capisco models here.

The HÅG Capisco 8107 is essentially the HÅG Capisco 8106 with an added adjustable headrest. The headrest can be adjusted in height and depth, providing extra comfort and support.

The HAG Capisco Puls 8020 features a plastic seat with a full cushion, offering a balance between firmness and comfort. In contrast, the Capisco 8106 is fully upholstered, providing enhanced comfort for extended sitting periods.

Why HÅG Capisco?

 HÅG Capisco

From the fully upholstered HÅG Capisco 8106 and 8107, designed for long working days and maximum comfort, to the lighter, more minimalist HÅG Capisco Puls 8010 and 8020, ideal for home offices, meeting rooms, and flexible workspaces, every Capisco chair shares the same DNA: balance, freedom of movement, and timeless Scandinavian design.

Highly adjustable, endlessly configurable, and engineered to last, the HÅG Capisco adapts effortlessly to modern sit-stand desks and creative work environments. It fits as naturally in a home office as it does in architect studios, collaboration spaces, or professional offices worldwide.

Sustainability is built in. The HÅG Capisco is made largely from recycled materials, designed for disassembly, and certified by leading environmental standards, including the Nordic Swan Ecolabel.

This is seating that moves with you.

This is the HÅG Capisco.

Norwegian designer Peter Opsvik created the HÅG Capisco 8106 in 1984 to redefine sitting at work. Instead of one fixed posture, the chair encourages movement and variation, making it a true ergonomic office chair. Today, the HÅG Capisco 8106 is one of the most iconic office chairs in Europe.

FAQ

HAG Capisco

Which gas lift height should I choose for my HAG Capisco?

- Low Gas Lift 150 mm (Seat Height 41-55 cm): Ideal for individuals up to 165 cm tall. Not suitable for sit-stand workstations and not compatible with a footring.

- Standard Gas Lift 200 mm (Seat Height 47-65 cm): Recommended for persons between 165 and 185 cm tall. Compatible with standing desks and can be equipped with a foot ring for additional comfort.

Which wheels should I choose?

Choose wheels for hard floors if your flooring is wood, tile, or laminate. Opt for wheels for soft floors if you have carpet. If you have mixed flooring or frequently switch between hard and soft surfaces, universal wheels are the best choice.

Read more on Choosing the Right Wheels for Your Office Chair.

Why would I need a footring for the HAG Capisco?

A footring is highly recommended if you cannot comfortably place your feet flat on the ground, for example, when working at a high fixed desk. In other situations, a foot ring provides additional versatility by allowing you to vary your sitting positions. While it can enhance overall comfort, it is not essential for maintaining a proper working posture.

If you opt for a 265 mm gas spring, we recommend adding a footring in most cases.

How much weight can the HÅG Capisco support?

The HÅG Capisco office chairs are tested and approved according to both EN 1335 Class A (European standard for persons up to 110 kilograms) and ANSI Bifma (American standard).
