HÅG Capisco Puls 8020 chair
A Scandinavian invention of ultimate form and function, designed by Peter Opsvik. The saddle seat of Capisco Puls is inspired by the upright sitting posture of horseback riders.
It supports natural movements of the body, allowing the user to sit comfortably in different styles with optimal posture.Nature did not design the body to sit still for hours.
Three things the body needs in order to function healthily when we are sitting down to work/study/play:
1. Optimal Posture
The saddle-like seat naturally guides the body to straighten the low back and engages the core muscles to support the spine better. Optimal posture is almost effortless and that equals optimal spinal nerve flow and lesser back problems.
2. Blood & Oxygen Circulation
The saddle seat with height-adjustable mechanism allows the thighs to settle comfortably while angled at the optimal 110º to 135º from the hips. This promotes better blood and oxygen circulation and allows for easy stretching of the legs, as compared to the traditional 90º sitting position with the standard chair seat.
3. Movement
The height-adjustable and recline mechanism, saddle seat, foot base, arm rest, back rest are all designed to facilitate different sitting positions and placement of the feet comfortably. The chair supports movements of the body naturally and stimulates micro-movements in the feet.
Movement prevents brain, spine, joint, and muscle fatigue. Movement activates the brain, improves the circulation of blood, oxygen and nerve flow. Thus, it enhances well-being and can even help activate ideas at work/study/play.
This chair allows you to do all three things naturally without conscious effort. It is the ultimate ergonomic support for sitting!
