Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the HAG Capisco 8106 ideal for sit-stand desks?
The saddle-style seat offers exceptional height adjustment range, allowing comfortable sitting at low, mid, and high positions—even up to standing desk height—supporting seamless movement between sitting and standing.
Can I use the Capisco 8106 with a regular desk?
Yes. While it excels with height-adjustable desks, it works well with standard desk heights. Adjust the seat to your preferred posture, whether seated traditionally, perched, or semi-standing.
Is the Capisco 8106 comfortable for all-day use?
Absolutely. Designed for active sitting, it encourages micro-movements that reduce spinal pressure and engage your core, leading to better posture, improved circulation, and less fatigue during long work sessions.
What's the difference between the Capisco 8106 and Capisco Puls 8010?
The 8106 features fully upholstered seat and backrest for more cushioning and comfort. The Puls 8010 has a lightweight plastic frame with slimmer profile and optional seat pad—more minimalist and easier to clean but slightly firmer.

Yes. The Capisco supports forward, sideways, or backward sitting with the backrest acting as chest support. This versatility promotes healthy movement and reduces stiffness.

Yes. Hand-built in Scandinavia using recyclable materials and sustainable practices. HAG is committed to reducing environmental impact without compromising quality.
Does the Capisco 8106 come fully assembled?
The chair requires minimal assembly. All necessary tools and instructions are included, and most users find setup quick and straightforward.
Is it suitable for taller or shorter users?
Yes. The wide range of adjustments—seat height, seat depth, and backrest tilt—makes it suitable for various body types and user heights.
