HÅG Creed 6005 · High back · Partly upholstered
The cheapest way to a high back.
At a glance
More backrest than the 6004, for less
This is the quietly sensible one. At 555 mm the back carries the shoulders rather than stopping at the shoulder blades — 45 mm more than the model most offices order by default — and because the outer shell is left bare rather than wrapped in fabric, it comes in below that model in every single fabric group.

The range
All six Creed models
One chassis, six backrests. Seat, base, mechanism, fabrics and almost every option are shared — the backrest height and how it is covered are the whole difference. The 6005 is the first of the three high backs.

The decision
Is the 6005 the right Creed for you?
The 6005 wins on one trade and loses on one. You get shoulder-height support for medium-back money. You give up the finished look from behind.
Choose the 6005
- You lean back to think or to take calls, and want the back to be there
- The chair faces a wall, a window or a partition, not the room
- You are buying several and want a high back on all of them
- You would rather put the saving into a better fabric
- The room runs warm and a bare shell breathes

Consider the 6006
- 30 mm more back — 585 mm against 555 mm
- Fully upholstered, so the back faces the room finished
- Half a kilo heavier, and dearer in every fabric group
- The only Creed that can be certified to EN 1335 class Ax
- Offered with the SHORT seat; the 6005 is not
Consider the 6004
- 45 mm less back, stopping at the shoulder blades
- But fully upholstered, and it costs more rather than less
- 1.5 kg lighter and visually smaller in a low-ceilinged room
- Offered with the SHORT seat and as an ESD chair
- The default if nobody has a reason to go taller
Below these sit the 6003 (medium back, partly upholstered — the entry model) and the 6002 (low back, the lightest). Above them, the 6056 adds a comfort layer and a wider seat. Every fabric and base finish is available on every model.
Where the saving goes
A taller back, or a better fabric. Here you get both.
How it works
A tall back that still lets you move
HÅG inBalance® — leaning back is a working position
On most chairs a high backrest is somewhere to stop. On a Creed the pivot sits under the middle of the seat, so the 15° forward and 16° backward tilt happens around you: lean into 555 mm of backrest and the chair goes with the weight shift instead of parking you. Your legs stay involved, circulation keeps going, and the back is support rather than a wall. Lockable in three positions if you would rather it stayed put.
One wheel instead of five levers
Backrest height matters more on a tall back than a short one — too high and the lumbar curve lands in the wrong place. It is on the same single wheel as seat depth and both tilt resistances, within reach of the seated hand, so getting it right takes seconds rather than a manual.
HÅG SwingBack® armrests
An option on the standard height- and width-adjustable armrests: they swing back behind the backrest, so the chair tucks fully under the desk and you get in and out from the side.
Why a bigger chair costs less
It looks like a pricing mistake, and it is not. Upholstering the outer shell is the single most expensive operation in building a Creed — more fabric, more cutting, more labour — and the 6005 skips it while the 6004 does not. So you are paying for 45 mm more backrest and not paying for a fabric panel that faces away from you. The shell underneath is the same moulded, perforated panel that hides under the fabric on a fully upholstered model. If the back of this chair faces a wall, there is nothing to think about.
Front and back, in Capture Green-grey on a Moss Grey base. The second picture is the whole decision: that perforated panel is what you are not paying to cover.
Materials
All of it goes where you sit
On a partly upholstered chair the fabric budget is concentrated: seat and the front of the backrest, nothing wasted on a panel nobody leans against. The shell is black whichever covering you pick, so the colour you choose is read from the front and from the side — which is how a chair at a desk is actually seen.
- Groups 1–2 — recycled polyesters and New Zealand wools: Xtreme, Cura Loop, Select. What most offices order, and where the Quick-Ship colours live.
- Groups 3–4 — texture and depth: tweedy Capture, Norwegian Sirdal, Steelcut.
- Groups 6–7 — chrome-free semi-aniline leathers: Paloma Soft, Elmosoft.
- Wipeable — PUxx 1 and Illusion 3.0 are polyurethane-coated and can be disinfected; five-year fabric warranty rather than ten.
Every price in the configurator above updates live as you change the covering, and every cover on the chair can be replaced years later. See the full fabric overview before you decide.
Configuration
What to decide at order time
Most of this can be changed later. Two things cannot, comfortably: the gas lift and the foot ring.
| Option | Worth knowing |
|---|---|
| Headrest | Black or silver, retrofittable later, and it shares its cover part with the HÅG Capisco. On a 555 mm back it sits where it should. |
| Armrests, height- and width-adjustable | The standard armrest, in black or silver. HÅG SwingBack® is ordered as an addition to it. |
| 3D arm pads | Add depth adjustment and rotation to the pad. Worth it where one chair is shared between people of different builds. |
| SHORT seat | Not offered on the 6005. The fixed 40 cm seat is available on the 6002, 6004 and 6006 only; here the seat depth is the standard 39–49 cm range. |
| ESD version | Not offered on the 6005 — only the 6002 and the 6004 are built as ESD chairs. |
| Gas lift, 200 / 265 mm | Decide now. The standard 150 mm lift gives 40–55 cm; 200 mm gives 47.5–66 cm for high or sit-stand desks; 265 mm is counter height. Changing it later is a service job. |
| HÅG FootRing, Ø450 mm | Only orderable together with the 200 or 265 mm lift — it cannot be added to a chair on the standard lift. |
| Base finish | Ø730 mm aluminium in black, silver, white, Blush Rose, Moss Grey or polished. |
| Castors, Ø65 mm | Hard braked castors for soft floors are standard. Universal castors suit both floor types; all five must match. |
| HÅG StepUp / QuickStep | Footrests for higher desks. StepUp has three levels and fits every gas lift; QuickStep is the rocking one. |
Replacement covers and accessories are in spare parts; the 6005 backrest cover is part 108529 — the same part as the old HÅG H05 5500 — and the seat cover 108029, shared with the 6002, 6003 and 6004.

Standards and certification
- EN 1335 Type A — the European dimensional and safety standard for office chairs, with the 150 mm gas lift.
- Class Ax is the 6006 only. If a tender asks for it by name, the 6005 cannot be specified to meet it — the 6006 with the SHORT seat and 3D arm pads can.
- NPR 1813-2016 — the Dutch practice guideline Dutch employers and health-and-safety services ask about.
- GS mark (Geprüfte Sicherheit), tested by LGA / Intertek in Germany.
- GREENGUARD Gold, Möbelfakta and the EU Ecolabel — indoor emissions, furniture quality and environmental performance. Ecolabel scope depends on configuration and fabric; ask us if you need it for a tender.
Environment
The Creed has an independently verified Environmental Product Declaration: 43.32 kg CO₂e per chair, 38.15 % recycled content by weight and 676.33 MJ of life-cycle energy. Those figures are measured on the 6004; no separate declaration is published for the 6005. Every Creed is made in Røros, Norway, in an ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 plant, comes apart without special tools, and every cover can be replaced — a chair reupholstered twice beats a chair replaced once by a wide margin.
Lead times
Nothing sits in a warehouse: each 6005 is upholstered to your order in Norway, so the fabric decides the wait.
- HÅG Quick-Ship — 15 working days. The 6005 is in the programme, headrest included, in selected Xtreme, Select and Paloma colours.
- Standard collection — 20–25 working days.
- Extended collection — 35 working days or more, depending on mill availability.
Indicative dispatch times from the factory; transport time comes on top. Ordering twenty or more? Tell us the date you need them and we will confirm before you commit.
Warranty
- 10 years on the chair and accessories, in normal use up to nine hours a day.
- 5 years above nine hours a day, and 5 years in 24/7 shift use with a fabric from the approved list.
- 10 years on standard-collection fabrics and leathers, except polyurethane-coated ones (five years).
Covers parts against material and manufacturing defects; labour and travel are chargeable. Full terms on the warranty page. The chair arrives flat-packed and goes together in a few minutes; see the assembly instructions.

Questions
HÅG Creed 6005 — frequently asked
Why does the 6005 cost less than the 6004 when it is bigger?
Because upholstering the outer back shell is the most expensive operation in building a Creed, and the 6005 skips it. You are paying for 45 mm more backrest and not paying for a fabric panel that faces away from you. It is cheaper than the 6004 in every fabric group, from the entry wools to the leathers.
What does "partly upholstered" actually mean?
The seat and the front of the backrest are covered in your chosen fabric. The back of the backrest is left as the moulded, perforated shell — the same shell that sits underneath the fabric on a fully upholstered 6006. Nothing is missing structurally; there is one less layer.
What is the difference between the 6005 and the 6006?
30 mm of backrest — 555 mm against 585 mm — and the upholstery. The 6006 is covered front and back, which is what you want if the chair faces into the room, and it is the only Creed that can be certified to EN 1335 class Ax. The 6005 is half a kilo lighter and costs less in every fabric group. Seat, base, mechanism and adjustments are identical.
Is a 555 mm back too tall for me?
If you are much under about 1.70 m, a high back can push at the head rather than support the shoulders — the 6004 is often the better fit. Backrest height is adjustable on the 4-in-1 wheel, so some of this is a setup question rather than a model question; set the lumbar curve to the small of your back first and judge from there.
Can I add a headrest to the 6005?
Yes — at order time or later. It comes in black or silver and shares its cover part with the HÅG Capisco. On a 555 mm backrest it sits at the right height without pushing the head forward.
Which gas lift should I order?
The standard 150 mm lift for an ordinary desk — it gives a seat height of 40–55 cm, which suits desks from roughly 68 to 80 cm. The 200 mm lift (47.5–66 cm) for high or sit-stand desks used seated at their upper setting. The 265 mm lift for counter-height work, best ordered with glides and a HÅG FootRing. The lift is awkward to change afterwards, so decide at order time.
Does the 6005 come assembled?
No — it arrives flat-packed and goes together in a few minutes without tools beyond what is in the box. Only the ESD versions ship assembled, and the 6005 has no ESD version.
Can the 6005 be certified to EN 1335 class Ax?
No. The 6005 is EN 1335 Type A. Class Ax is reachable on the 6006 only, and only when it is ordered with the SHORT seat and 3D arm pads together — and the SHORT seat is not offered on the 6005. If a tender names class Ax, specify the 6006.
