Since 1943, HÅG (correctly written in all caps and with the ring diacritic above the "A", but often changed to "HAG" on keyboards that don't have the special character) has been producing office chairs and today continues to be a leader in the field.
The HAG Capisco is one of the most innovative office chairs around, departing from the traditional look of ergonomic office chairs in favor of a more striking appearance.
The first thing most people notice is that the Capisco's back is shaped like a plus (+).
It functions the same as any other seat back while you are seated in the chair normally, but this chair isn't designed to be used only in a traditional seating position.
The Capisco is designed on the principal that people move around.
There are plenty of ergonomic task chairs that support you in an ergonomically perfect position as long as you don't move, but what if you want to turn? What if you want to pull your leg up? What if you want to sit sideways? This is where the Capisco stands head and shoulders above the competition.
Sit down in the chair and swivel it so the back is on your side rather than behind you.
Now the plus-shape back supports your sides and the horizontal arms of the plus shape support your elbows.
Spin the chair around 180 degrees and you can lean forward while the arms continue to provide support.
The second innovative feature of the Capisco is its available saddle seat.
This seat provides a more comfortable position that allows the hips to open up and not be forced into a 90 degree angle, and is also designed for a semi standing-seated posture for use at higher desks, such as drafting tables.
Of course, the Capisco is also available with a normal, flat seat and with a normal height hydraulic lift so it can be used at normal-height desks, as well.
In addition to these innovations, this chair also has a recline mechanism (can be locked if you don't want the chair to tilt), a sliding seat that lets you adjust the seat depth so it can accommodate users of different heights, and an adjustable back height.
To top it off, the Capisco is available in a large variety of fabrics and color options, so you're sure to find one that matches your style or office decor.
In a world where all ergonomic chairs try to look and behave like each other, the Capisco is a welcome change to the standard way of thinking.
