HAG Capisco 8106 / 8107 Office Saddle Chair FAQs

What are the key models and differences?

• The 8106 is the standard saddle-seat version. 
• The 8107 adds a headrest for extra support. 

What are the main adjustment features?

• Seat height adjustment (via gas lift) — e.g., the 8106 offers options like 150 mm, 200 mm or 265 mm lifts. 
• Seat depth adjustment, back-height adjustment, tilt tension adjustment, and lockable tilt. 
• The unique “saddle seat” design allows seated facing forward, sideways or even backwards. 

What desk heights/surface heights is it suitable for?

Suitable for desks and work surfaces of standard height and higher.  It is suitable for all working surfaces with table height of 72 cm and higher.

If you opt for the higher gas lift (e.g., 265mm), it supports more elevated work surfaces or sit-stand setups but may require a footring.

What is the weight capacity and certification?

The chair is tested and approved to EN 1335 Class A (European office chair standard) for users up to approx. 110 kg. 

Also carries environmental certifications (e.g., Nordic Swan Ecolabel) showing strong sustainability credentials. 

What upholstery/finish options are available?

• A wide choice of fabrics, leathers and colours for the seat, back and base. 
• Base options include different finishes such as aluminium, black or white bases. 

Is this a good chair for height-adjustable desks or sit/stand setups?

Yes — the saddle-seat concept and the wide height-adjustment range make it particularly suited to workstations where users shift between sitting and standing. 

How do I care for and maintain the chair?

• For fabric upholstery, follow the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning methods (e.g., mild detergent, no harsh chemicals).
• Avoid placing the chair in extreme temperatures (very cold or hot) for prolonged periods; some plastics/gas lifts perform less well outside normal room-temperature conditions. 

What warranty is offered?

HAG provide a 10-year warranty on the HÅG Capisco 8106 & 8107. 

Can a headrest be added after purchase?

Yes — for example, a headrest can be added to convert a 8106 into an 8107, subject to matching upholstery availability. 

Who is this chair best suited for?

• Anyone who uses a height-adjustable desk or changes between sitting and perching/standing positions.
• Users who like a non-traditional seating experience (e.g., sideways/backwards as well as forwards).
• Office or home-office users who prefer ergonomics and movement over a fixed posture.
