HAG Capisco 8126 – Compact Ergonomic Chair for Active, Flexible Seating
The HAG Capisco 8126 is a uniquely designed ergonomic task chair that encourages movement, flexibility, and healthy posture throughout your workday. With a shorter, rounded seat, it offers a more compact seating experience—ideal for users who prefer to sit cross-legged, perch, or switch positions often.
A Seat Designed for Freedom
Unlike traditional office chairs, the Capisco 8126’s rounded front edge and compact design create the perfect platform for active sitting. Whether you want to sit low, perch high, or shift between different positions, this chair supports it all while maintaining balance and comfort. Its shape naturally encourages an open hip angle, relieving pressure and keeping your body engaged during extended periods of work.
This makes the 8126 an excellent choice for creative professionals, remote workers, or anyone using a sit-stand desk who values postural freedom and dynamic movement.
Ideal for Sit-Stand Workstations
Like other models in the Capisco family, the 8126 offers a wide range of height adjustability, supporting positions from low seated all the way to near-standing. Pair it with a height-adjustable desk to create a flexible and ergonomic workstation that adapts to your workflow and energy levels.
Scandinavian Craftsmanship You Can Feel
The HAG Capisco 8126 is hand-built to order in Scandinavia, ensuring exceptional quality and attention to detail. It’s made with sustainability in mind, using recyclable materials and eco-conscious manufacturing processes. You can customise your chair with a wide selection of fabrics, colours, and finishes to match your space and style.
