As modern workspaces evolve, ergonomic design has become a cornerstone of health and productivity. Magna proudly introduces the HÅG Capisco—a revolutionary ergonomic seating solution blending Scandinavian innovation with the principles of active sitting. This chair sets a new benchmark for workplace comfort and well-being, ensuring users stay comfortable, energized, and in motion during long hours of work.
The History of HÅG Capisco
The story of this innovative seating solution began in the early 1970s in Røros, Norway, a picturesque town.
All parts of the chair have been thought out down to the smallest detail so that the best of Scandinavian design is combined in the final product and the chair will last for decades.
Initially, the company specialized in kitchen and school furniture, but as market demand shifted, they refocused on ergonomic seating. On the verge of bankruptcy, the bold decision to develop ergonomic chairs led to the creation of the Capisco, which would become a leader in active seating solutions.
In 1984, the company released its most iconic product, the Capisco chair, which revolutionized the way people sit at work. Inspired by the posture and balance of horse riders, it introduced an entirely new way to approach office seating. This innovation became a bestseller and solidified its place in the global market for ergonomic office solutions.
The Visionary Designers Behind HÅG Capisco
At the heart of the chair’s success lies a series of collaborations with world-renowned designers. One of the key figures behind its breakthrough designs is Peter Opsvik, the mastermind behind the Capisco chair.
Opsvik’s approach to seating was revolutionary: he believed that the best sitting position is always the next one, emphasizing the importance of movement in achieving ergonomic perfection.
His visionary designs reshaped how people perceive sitting, integrating movement and flexibility into daily work environments.
In addition to Opsvik, Studio HÅG, formed in the early 1970s, collaborated with doctors, physiotherapists, and design experts to ensure the ergonomic effectiveness of the Capisco line. This collaboration has made it not only functional but also a design masterpiece.
The Essence of Active Sitting with HÅG Capisco
The HÅG Capisco is designed with active sitting as a core principle, incorporating cutting-edge technology to promote natural body movement.
With HÅG in Balance® technology, users are constantly moving—whether they realize it or not. This continuous motion improves posture, reduces strain, and keeps both the body and mind alert, enhancing focus and energy throughout the day.
Inspired by horseback riding, where balance and posture are essential, this chair provides ultimate flexibility in seating positions.
More than just an office chair, the HÅG Capisco becomes an essential tool for boosting productivity and maintaining concentration.
