HAG Capisco 8106 Saddle Chair for Sit-Stand Workstations
The HAG Capisco 8106 is a fully upholstered saddle chair engineered for height-adjustable desks and active sitting environments. With a seat height range from 410mm to 810mm (depending on gas lift selection), this chair transitions seamlessly from low sitting positions to standing desk height, supporting dynamic movement throughout your workday.
Technical Specifications and Adjustability
Hand-built in Scandinavia, the 8106 features HÅG inBalance technology—a balanced tilt mechanism that moves the front seat edge upward when leaning back and downward when leaning forward. The chair includes seat height and depth adjustment, lockable tilt function, and adjustable tilting resistance in both directions. Rated for 110kg (17.3 stone), it accommodates a wide range of body types.
Three gas lift options provide precise height customization:
- 150mm gas lift: 410-550mm seat height
- 200mm gas lift: 485-660mm seat height
- 265mm gas lift: 570-810mm seat height
Base options include standard aluminium, black aluminium, or white aluminium finishes to match your workspace aesthetic.
Ergonomic Design for Movement and Posture
The saddle-style seat supports multiple sitting orientations—forward-facing, sideways, or reversed with the backrest as chest support. This versatility encourages micro-movements that engage core muscles and reduce static loading on the spine. The fully upholstered seat and backrest provide cushioned comfort during extended work sessions while maintaining the postural benefits of active sitting.
Environmental Credentials
The HAG Capisco 8106 was the world's first task chair awarded the Nordic Swan eco-label. Manufactured using recyclable materials and sustainable production methods, it represents Scandinavian commitment to environmental responsibility without compromising ergonomic performance or build quality.
