40 Years of HAG Capisco | The Story of a Design Icon

40 years of Capisco - A design icon that redefines movement

When the HÅG Capisco was launched in 1984, it revolutionized the office chair world. While traditional chairs dictated static sitting, the Capisco brought a completely new way of thinking to the office: sitting should be dynamic. To this day, it embodies a clear message – if we are allowed to move, we will . Therefore, the Capisco is not just an ergonomic chair, but an attitude towards modern work.

A radical design – inspired by horseback riding

The Capisco's distinctive silhouette stems from a bold idea: the dynamic posture of riders as a model for healthy sitting. The sculptural saddle seat and organic backrest are not merely visual highlights – they invite movement and variation. The Capisco deliberately breaks with rigid seating concepts and follows Opsvik's guiding principle: the best sitting position is always the next one.

Active working – perfect for modern working environments

In a time when we sit more than ever before, the Capisco is more relevant than ever. It seamlessly supports everything that modern workplaces need today: flexibility, movement, and variety. Whether forward, sideways, or backward – the chair enables natural, intuitive changes in posture and keeps the body moving. In combination with height-adjustable desks, the Capisco unfolds its full potential and adapts to any working height.

The future of sitting begins with movement.

The HÅG Capisco makes a statement: for health, for design, for a working world that keeps people moving. It represents 40 years of innovation – and a future where sitting is not passive, but active. If you're looking for a chair that noticeably improves your everyday life, the Capisco is the right choice.
