A modern take on our favorite chair

28 years after debuting his iconic Capisco task chair, designer Peter Opsvik returned to his original creation with fresh vision–and a price that makes this popular award-winning chair pleasantly affordable.

Capisco Puls is everything we love about the original Capisco—the human-inspired design, the many ways to sit in it, its perfect compatibility with an adjustable height standing desk—but with a modernized molded polyurethane seat and back, and a slimmer saddle that allows you to sit with your legs closer together.

Like the original Capisco, Puls uses recycled household plastic in its parts and recycled car bumpers in its foam padding. For the seat you have two options: a strip of padding at the seat’s center (Puls), or fully upholstered (Puls Plus).

For varying heights and desk heights, we also offer a 150mm and a 200mm HAG Pneumatic Lift.

Open-Box Program

Giving a second chance to returned items means keeping quality products out of the landfill. Although some products may show small signs of installation, they have met our high standards of being perfectly functional.

Choosing your chair height

The 265mm standard range is optimal for most people working at adjustable or standing height desks. For varying heights and desk heights, we also offer a 150mm and a 200mm HAG Gas Lift.

The 200mm lift adjusts from approximately 18" to 25" and the shorter 150mm lift provides a height adjustment from about  15" to 20.7". We do not recommend the 150mm lift for most users and applications. However, if you have a lower fixed-height desk, or if you are under 5'4" you may prefer a lower lift. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need help deciding what will work best for you.

Care and cleaning

Regular vacuuming; wipe clean with damp cloth; if you really made a mess, try a dilute solution of gentle detergent.

Base color

The Capisco base is an aluminum frame that comes in 3 color options: black, silver, and white.

For your feet

The footring comes in black, white, or silver, to match your base. A great addition to any tall seat, we recommend the footring with the standard 265mm lift. It easily slips on to your already-assembled Capisco, and can also be removed without disassembling the chair, if you decide to go back.

StepUp footrest

The StepUp is great for Capiscos being used in shared spaces and accommodates people of different heights in communal areas.
