Would a leather chair perhaps last longer than the synthetic options?

Thanks!

@jamie o’connor contact HAG directly for a list of dealers in your area. the retro upholstery was a special promotional item and is no longer available. you may be able to find a US dealer with remaining inventory but i do not believe there are any left.

@wyxzie i can certainly see how a skirt may be a concern. the saddle is not incredibly wide so a modest skirt should not be a problem. of course, the shorter the skirt the bigger of a concern this becomes. also, you may want to consider a modesty panel on your work surface which should also help quite a bit.

@tlk removing the “button” is rather simple. just pull straight out with either your hand or a pair of pliers. be careful not to scuff the button with the tool. to replace the button you would just set it back over the hole and press on the button until it snaps into place. be careful to not press so hard or hit the button where you would crack the handle. be careful when cleaning the upholstery because getting this cover back on the back, over the foam can be quite difficult. if it shrinks at all you may never get it back on. the factory uses a machine that removes the air from the foam to make this process much easier.

I love my Capisco but after years of use in vast different climates, the cover is getting noticably dirty. I hope to remove the cover and wash it while directly examining the condition of the foam.

Thanks!

Thank you!

I live in San Jose, but I would be willing to drive up to San Francisco, especially if I could sit in it and test it out. What height is it?

My desk is 28.5 inches, so I would need the 150 mm I guess. I’m 5’1″.

Does anyone have an opinion on whether that setup would work?

Thanks.

I’ve been doing some research on my options for a Capisco, but I’m getting a bit mixed up with respect to what’s available and what’s not.

First, the upholstery options. I want to go with the PVC-free vinyl, Dove color. However, its availability on sales sites is is sporadic. Sometimes it’s listed, sometimes not. What’s the deal?

Also, I’d like to get an opinion from the non-fabric Capisco owners. How do you think it compares to some of the woven fabrics available? I’ve sat in both vinyl and fabric versions (but not leather), and I like the “sticking” quality of my body to the vinyl. It’s a pretty small seat and lacks the cradling of some ergo chairs, so I’m kind of wary of some woven fabrics ability to hold me on the saddle. On the other hand, I wonder if the vinyl could get hot as it doesn’t dissipate heat as well as some fabrics.

Second, when I order the StepUp in Silver, what am I going to get? Seriously, Google the accessory for pictures and see what you get. I assume the connecting pole is the same silver color as the option on the chair’s base, but how about the footplate? Dark grey or black? And the “globe”? Dark grey, black, or red? I’m at a loss.

Third, what are all the options for the casters? It’s the same dilemma as the upholstery. I mostly see the hard/soft floor option, but I’ve come across both with the auto-lock feature; I guess that means the chair won’t roll unless you’re in it. But is it even available?

Lastly, what’s the flat seat good for? As I understand it, you can’t sit in the chair “backwards” with the seat, but it’s better for working at lower seating heights. I can see the advantage if it makes the chair a bit lounge-ier , but I do believe it’s shorter than the saddle seat. Kinda conflicting…

Give it to me, bloggers

I have bought my Capisco chair from work and need to transport it home by public transport is there a special technique in separating the seat from the spindle and wheels?

thanks
