Upright posture in particular for sit-to-stand applications and a desire to achieve more healthy sitting postures. A little background if you haven’t heard of a Capisco, ‘Saddle Chair’: It was designed by Peter Opsvik, a Norwegian design legend and award winning industrial designer of 30 years, who believes, “if we are allowed to move, we move”, simply put, moving is natural. I don’t know how to sit still for hours in one seated position comfortably. I have back pain like those of millions of others and finding a chair that moves with my body, allows me to look forward to sitting for longer periods of time and being more productive… When Peter Opsvik designs his chairs, He begins with an inspiration, functionality and then the design follows. The Capisco ‘Saddle Chair’ was inspired by his research into the working styles of the active horsemen, allowing people the freedom to move into different, natural sitting positions that are not possible in conventional office chairs. The Capisco ‘Saddle Chair’ was inspiration for another chair within the series, the “Capisco” , receiving its first award just after its launch in 2010. It has gained futher international recognition with winning the Red Dot Design award in the best product design category in 2011.
