HÅG Minu: a new design previewed at Designers’ Saturday

Flokk and Andreas Engesvik present the HÅG Minu, a compact task chair designed for home comfort and professional ergonomics.

The HÅG Minu received its exclusive first preview at Designers’ Saturday in Oslo over the weekend. Designed by Norwegian designer Andreas Engesvik for Flokk brand HÅG, the new chair will be available to order internationally from January 2026.

 

The HÅG Minu is a compact, ergonomic task chair designed for the home office. It combines professional performance with a warm, modern look, presenting itself more as a piece of furniture than a traditional office chair. Built on the HÅG inBalance® mechanism from HÅG Tion and adapted for smaller spaces, it features a fully upholstered seat and back that give the chair a soft, inviting appearance.

Designed by Andreas Engesvik

The development of HÅG Minu has been a close collaboration between Andreas Engesvik and Flokk Design. Together, the team has shaped a concept that balances residential appeal with ergonomic function.

 

“Our first focus was to visually connect the chair to the domestic sphere. That is why the seat and backrest have fully upholstered textile surfaces, and there are no visible plastic parts except for the wheels. The base, made of die-cast aluminium, forms a small sculpture that holds everything up,” explains Engesvik, continuing.

 

“When designing a chair for HÅG, you are standing on the shoulders of Peter Opsvik, who has been groundbreaking not only in Norway but internationally. There is a sense of reverence in that.”

 

Details and features

Colour and configuration: five colours – orange, blue, purple, beige and black – available across castors, gas lift and footbase, with an additional polished aluminium option for the footbase. Users can mix and match across colours to harmonise or create striking contrasts.

 

Upholstery: fully upholstered seat and back, available in Flokk’s wide fabric portfolio.

 

Size and mobility: compact footprint with a four-leg aluminium footbase. Easy to move, position or carry.

 

Ergonomics: immediate seat and back comfort with the signature HÅG inBalance® movement mechanism for dynamic sitting.

 

Sustainability: designed for longevity, disassembly and repair. High levels of recycled materials, documented under the EU Ecolabel.
