HAG Capisco task chair by Flokk takes inspiration from the horse riding saddle seat

Designed by Peter Opsvik , HAG Capisco is the iconic “saddle chair” by Flokk which continues to withstand the test of time. Its design is modelled on the horse rider’s dynamic seating position. The unique plus-shaped back of the seat makes for comfortable backwards or sideways sitting, the contoured saddle seat allows the body a more active, forward posture. s

There’s plenty of space at the back of the seat for traditional sitting. The chair is based on the understanding of the human body and its need to constantly move. It encourages the user to vary their position.

It represents a new generation of seating solutions, and is attuned to the contemporary, dynamic workplaces of today. In addition, it’s well suited for work surfaces at different heights or to height-adjustable desks. One can also customise the fabric to reflect the personality of the user or company brand. In addition to being the most popular chair by HAG, Capisco is made from 50% recycled material and is 90% recyclable, making it a popular environment-friendly choice. HAG Capisco chair by Flokk is available in the UAE through OFIS.
