If you’re an American adult, you likely spend as much as 9.5 hours sitting per day. Most of that time is also probably spent sitting with stiff, rigid posture at a desk — back straight, feet on the floor and shoulders square. We’re told it’s the best way to sit for the sake of our spines, but many of the ergonomic chairs on the market today do little to support us in that position for long hours — at least, until now.
Hong Kong-based LiberNovo has finally released its flagship ergonomic chair for preorder following a successful Kickstarter campaign. Designed to tackle the woes of prolonged sitting while still looking great in your office setup, the LiberNovo Omni is a first-of-its-kind dynamic, ergonomic chair built to support your body’s micro-movements while you’re sitting for work or gaming.
Dynamic and adaptive support
Locking your body into position for a long workday or extended gaming session can really take its toll on you. While good posture is important, it needs to be supported by a comfortable chair, or you could experience fatigue and discomfort. Other ergonomic chairs can provide support while you’re still, but they’re not able to flex dynamically as you shift throughout the day.
The LiberNovo Omni features a unique and innovative Dynamic Support System, making it the most adaptive ergonomic chair on the market. The Omni is fitted with a Bionic FlexFit Backrest, built with 16 precision joints and eight adaptive panels that mirror the spine’s natural S-curve.
We’re all well aware of how important it is to sit with good posture, but spending nine or more hours with your feet flat on the floor isn’t always possible. You might like to sit back with your feet up, while your coworker prefers to look like they’re getting their work done. They may sit still and stoic, while you may twist or rock in your seat. Regardless of how you sit, the LiberNovo Omni’s unique SyncroLink Mechanism keeps the seat, backrest and armrests moving cohesively for maximum support even when you’re mid-motion.
The LiberNovo Omni’s Dynamic Support System is further enhanced with it’s Dynamic Screen Alignment System that keeps your posture intact and your eyes on the screen regardless of your incline. The Omni’s headrest and backrest tilt seamlessly to keep your gaze focused on your screen, while the armrests slide back up to 100mm for ergonomic support at any angle.
Recline your way
The FlexFit Backrest’s gapless, contour-hugging panels support your spine regardless of your position, even when you’re enjoying one of the chair’s four intelligent recline modes.
Sitting up at work and need to be attentive, alert and stable during presentations or important calls? The LiberNovo Omni’s 105-degree Deep Focus setting is perfect when you need to be locked in and professional. The 120-degree Solo-Work setting is ideal when you’re in that flow state and need a more comfortable position for extended focus.
You do so much more at your desk than work, though, and the Omni can provide purpose-driven support for your gaming session too. The 135-degree Soft Recline mode is perfect for kicking back and playing your favorite game, livestreaming, watching your favorite shows or just relaxing and browsing. When you’re really ready to kick back, the 160-degree Spine Flow recline setting offers a near-horizontal position that’s best paired with the optional footrest for a fully supported spine, helping alleviate back stiffness.
The Omni can even help you decompress with its OmniStretch mode. OmniStretch mode is inspired by spinal care concepts and designed to gently stretch your spine — providing relief from the discomfort of prolonged sitting. Just 5 minutes in OmniStretch mode offer soothing decompression that relaxes tense muscles, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the remainder of your day.
All too often, gaming and ergonomic chairs are rigid with minimal support or adjustability. Not all bodies are made the same, though, and your support needs can vary wildly from the guy’s in the next cubicle over. The Omni is designed to fit you both, with 4D armrests, adjustable seat height, multiple reclining angles and 3D neck support to help you get through your day.
If you would like to level up your LiberNovo Omni even further for more comfort, you can add on the Cooling Seat Cushion for added cooling relief during long work and gaming sessions.
Presale is live now
The LiberNovo Omni dynamic, ergonomic chair is the first of its kind in the industry, designed to support the way you live and work. The chair made history with its record-smashing debut on Kickstarter in June. For too long, the market for gaming and ergonomic chairs has gone unchallenged, leaving us to toil away for long hours in uncomfortable seats with inadequate support.
Kickstarter backers have praised the LiberNovo Omni for innovating the way we spend time at our desks by creating an ergonomic chair that is more sustainable for work and play. “Our mission has always been to harness innovation and technology to create environments that set people free — even in how they sit,” says Alex Yan, LiberNovo Founder and CEO.
