HAG Capisco 8106 All Leather

The HAG Capisco saddle chair was awarded "the classic award for design excellence" by the Norwegian Design Council in 2001. The rest is history! The HAG Capisco office saddle chair was inspired by the dynamic seating posture of the horse rider. No one sits as actively as an equestrian must - using their core to stay balanced while in constant motion. Peter Opsvik and HÅG successfully recreated this ideal seating position for a chair that keeps one 'active'. You can feel the dynamics as soon as you sit down on this saddle stool. Many hundreds of thousands of HAG Capisco office saddle chairs have been sold worldwide since Capisco's inception. It is by far, the most interesting and renowned active seat that we offer. The HAG Capisco saddle seat is a leader in the new dynamic sitting revolution.

This version of the HAG Capisco saddle seat chair is configured with leather upholstery. The base price is for the 5 day express L3 Highlands Leather, but if you can wait 15 business days, you can choose from all of the other Sierra or Lena Leathers. As a leader in the sustainable production of leather, Green Hides’ Italian tannery uses closed loop, low emission tanning, and all ingredients used in production are either reclaimed, recycled, purified or responsibly disposed. As a product of Italy, Green Hides leathers comply with the strict regulations and directives of the EU, including environmental normative CE2000/53 and REACH, a comprehensive regulation for chemical substances which aims to protect human and environmental health.

Design Studio Note: Well, this could be our favorite chair certainly in terms or originality and design. Given the interesting options and textiles and the fact that this active sitting chair or stool has been around since active sitting became in vogue, then yes it might be! We love the Capisco in any form. This chair is a product of Norway and the quality certainly shows. Without a doubt, the detail that catches our eye every time is the carefully cast aluminum painted or polished base. At the base tips, a cute little feature is sculpted in. Yep, a ribbed and arched foot rest. Flip your loafers or flats off and massage the tired soles of your feet or merely perch them atop the base and get them off the floor. Active sitting incorporates all aspects of movement right down to your feet! Just another small way to help your circulation and improve your health as you work away the day. Sit sideways. Sit backwards. It's all good and part of every Capisco chair.

The GREENGUARD Gold Certification Standard includes health-based criteria for additional chemicals (compare to GREENGUARD Standard) and also requires lower total volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions levels to ensure that products are acceptable for use in environments such as schools and health care facilities. In addition to limiting emissions of more than 360 VOCs and total chemical emissions, GREENGUARD Gold Certified products must also comply with requirements of the state of California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Standard Method for the Testing and Evaluation of Volatile Organic Chemical Emissions from Indoor Sources Using Environmental Chambers,(also known as California Section 01350). Office furniture products that are GREENGUARD Gold Certified are also compliant with the BIFMA X7.1 standard.

The studio has a strong focus on product design as a mean for solving real-life problems. Core competence is furniture design, interior design, ergonomics, environmental oriented solutions, engineering and communication. The studio works both independently and in close collaboration with major manufacturers, such as Hag and Varier.
