Capisco chair

Saddle-seat office chair designed to be sat in several different positions

Peter Opsvik designed the Capisco for the Norwegian maker HÅG: a saddle seat and a short shaped backrest on a tall gas lift. You can sit in it more than one way. Forward like a saddle stool, turned around leaning on the rest, or perched high enough to work at a standing desk. The shape pushes you to keep changing position through the day. Flokk sells it worldwide, and in North America it has carried the Fully name.

    Bought a Capisco after his old chair started listing to one side, having never owned a fancy one before. He mostly sits forward in it, cranked high, and took the smaller size so it also works at his writing desk. The stock casters were marking the wood floors, so he swapped them.
