The story behind Capisco Puls

IIn 1984 the renowned Norwegian designer Peter Opsvik, inspired by the sitting posture of the horseback rider, launched the idea of a specially designed saddle chair. Based on the idea of a more dynamic and natural sitting position, the aim was to create as universal a sitting posture as possible.

Opsvik believed that the ergonomics experts were right; all the recommended sitting positions were good – the goal was to design a chair that allowed as many positions as possible and that made it easy to alternate between them.

Lycro is now working on developing the fourth generation of the classic saddle chair, the latest model of which is called Capisco Puls. Because the office chair is supplied without covering, the demands to the finish of the plastic components in the seat and back are extremely high.

Lycro SAFE – safe molds from China

In our Lycro SAFE concept we manufacture molds for pipe components based on many years of experience in the manufacture of molding tools for pipe fittings. Our brand name SAFE implies that our products represent a safe buy for our customers. The molds are designed by Lycro according to customer specifications and comply with European standards and requirements.

The molds are constructed at our factory in China and then shipped to Lycro in Norway for integrating with our production philosophy. Our customers are therefore assured the cheapest and best molding tools for their pipe fittings. This ensures that all requirements to quality, tolerance and cycle times are fulfilled and that the molds work as they should before being handed over to the customer.
