HÅG Capisco 8106 Saddle Chair

Sit, perch or turn it around. The chair that moves when you do.

Most office chairs are built to hold you in one position all day. The HÅG Capisco is built for the opposite. Its saddle seat lets you sit forwards, side-on or backwards, and it goes high enough to perch at a raised desk. When you feel like a change, you change how you sit, not which chair you sit in.

Designed by Peter Opsvik and made in Norway by Flokk, the 8106 is the classic saddle seat Capisco. It has barely changed in decades because it hasn’t needed to.

Why we like it

• Saddle seat. Sit the usual way, side-saddle, or straddle it backwards and lean on the backrest.
• Made for higher desks. Suits work surfaces 72 cm and higher, so it pairs well with a sit-stand desk.
• HÅG inBalance tilt. The seat and back follow your movement, with adjustable tension. Lock it when you want it still.
• Adjusts to you. Seat height, seat depth and back height all adjust.
• Built to last. Backed by a 10-year Flokk guarantee, and around 90% of the chair can be recycled at the end of its life.

Choose your fabric and base

Pick from Gabriel, Camira and Kvadrat fabrics, vinyl or leather, on a black, silver or white base. A few fabrics come with their own base colour, such as Green Sirdal on moss grey. Price depends on the fabric.

Optional extras

Add these when you choose your chair. The price updates as you pick them.

• Gas lift: standard 200 mm included. Low 150 mm for shorter users or lower desks, or high 265 mm to perch at a standing-height desk.
• Footring: somewhere to rest your feet when you sit higher. Recommended with the high gas lift.
• Glides: swap the castors for glides if you want the chair to stay put.
• HÅG StepUp: clips to the base and gives you two extra foot positions.

Sit on it before you spend

A saddle seat feels different, and a $2,000 chair is not something to buy off a photo. Our Capisco, in Gabriel Select SC68209 on a black base, is in the Warners Bay showroom. Book a time to try it. Call Josh on 0409 512 434 or email sales@selectergo.com.au.
