Capisco Chair by Hag – what are the differences?

The HÅG Capisco Puls and the HÅG Capisco 8106 are both ergonomic chairs designed with active sitting in mind, but they have distinct differences that cater to different preferences and uses.

Here’s a breakdown of the main differences between these two models:

1. Design and Materials:

• HÅG Capisco Puls:
• Material: Made primarily of plastic with a slimmer, more minimalist design.
• Seat and Backrest: Features a molded seat and backrest with optional seat padding (available as an add-on).
• Look: More modern, lightweight, and streamlined, making it suitable for contemporary office spaces or home offices.
• HÅG Capisco 8106:
• Material: More robust, with a fully upholstered seat and backrest, offering a softer and more luxurious feel.
• Seat and Backrest: Features plush padding throughout, providing greater comfort, especially during long hours of use.
• Look: Has a classic, iconic design with a more substantial and premium appearance, suitable for professional environments.

2. Comfort and Ergonomics:

• HÅG Capisco Puls:
• Comfort: Less cushioning, which might be less comfortable for prolonged use without additional seat padding.
• Ergonomics: Designed for active sitting with a focus on promoting movement; suitable for shorter durations or tasks that require frequent movement.
• Adjustability: Offers the same range of adjustability as the 8106 but with a firmer seating experience.
• HÅG Capisco 8106:
• Comfort: Highly cushioned with substantial padding, making it much more comfortable for extended periods.
• Ergonomics: Offers excellent support for long hours of sitting; ideal for users who require more comfort and support.
• Adjustability: Features extensive adjustability options similar to the Puls, allowing various seating positions, including forward, backward, and sideways.

3. Price:

• HÅG Capisco Puls: Generally more affordable due to the simpler construction and materials.
• HÅG Capisco 8106: Higher price point due to the premium materials, additional padding, and more refined look.

4. Weight and Portability:

• HÅG Capisco Puls: Lighter and easier to move around due to the minimalist design.
• HÅG Capisco 8106: Heavier, reflecting its more robust build and additional cushioning.

5. Sustainability:

• Both chairs are made with a focus on sustainability, using recycled materials. However, the Puls’s plastic components make it easier to clean and maintain.

Ideal Use:

• HÅG Capisco Puls: Best for users who prefer a modern, sleek design and do not require extensive cushioning, or for environments where the chair is used intermittently.
• HÅG Capisco 8106: Best for those who need a more traditional, comfortable seating solution for long hours, such as in offices or work-from-home setups.
• Both are really good for people working at a sit stand desk, and are looking for something to support them when they are sitting

Overall, the choice between the HÅG Capisco Puls and the HÅG Capisco 8106 depends on your comfort preferences, design tastes, and intended use. The 8106 is designed for maximum comfort and support, while the Puls is a lighter, more cost-effective option for those who enjoy the unique Capisco sitting experience with a modern twist.
