Kistan Office: Designing chairs

Capisco 8106 and 8107 with headrest. Silver foot base.

As humans, we are meant to move, which is why a 9 to 5 desk job can be so detrimental to our physical health.

Identifying the need for healthy seating options in the workplace, HÅG focuses on designing chairs that help users stay healthier, more active and alert by enabling effortless movement of the whole body while they sit and work. The result is more freedom, greater comfort and better productivity.

Based in Norway, the company crafts high-quality chairs featuring unique HÅG inBalance® technology, which keeps the body in continuous motion while seated, naturally and effortlessly.

Their offering includes a selection of on-trend styles in gorgeous colourways, including the HÅG Creed, which combines classic design with smart functionality, HÅG Capisco Puls, a plastic chair with an integrated seat cushion for improved comfort, and HÅG Capisco, the classic bestseller model. Inspired by a horseback rider’s posture, its pioneering saddle seat and overall unique shape offer endless ways to sit or half-stand. All of this encourages the user to vary their position, whether they’re facing forward, backwards or sideways.

Celebrating their 40th anniversary, the HÅG Capisco and Capisco Puls recently got a style upgrade and are now available in Moss Grey and Blush Rose.

“Moss Grey adds a sleek, elegant vibe, while Blush Rose brings a cosy, warm touch. Perfect for matching your office or home workspace to your unique taste, you now have fresh, chic options to personalise your seating,” notes HÅG.

HÅG Office is locally available at Kistan Office, a leading South African office furniture supplier. Believing that great things happen in environments which inspire and enable to meet, focus, socialise and collaborate, Kistan is committed to providing the most stylish, modern and advanced office systems available on the market.
