Motorized Office Chair Market Disrupted with LiberNovo โOmni Launch
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – LiberNovo has entered the competitive office chair โmarket โwith โthe Omni, a $1,099 (MSRP) chairโ featuring a battery-powered, motorized backrest โฃdesigned to dynamically adjust to the user’s spine.The Omni, currently available in Midnightโข Black and Space โคGray, aims to โฃprovide personalized ergonomic support without โขthe need for manual lumbar adjustments.
The Omni distinguishes itself with its “Bionic FlexFit Backrest” and “ErgoPulse Motor System,” utilizing โขa battery to configure the backrest’sโข support. โคThree buttons on the left armrest control theโ backrest’s vertical adjustment and activate โขa spinal massageโค function.LiberNovo states the chair can support users up to 300 pounds.
Early reviews highlight the chair’s exceptionally pleasantโ padding, described as “multi-density โspongeโฃ cushion material” that offers plushness without excessive sinking. Testersโฃ noted the softnessโข as a standout feature after weeks of use. However, breathability is โa potential concern, with usersโ reporting a slightly warmโ back after extended periods, potentially exacerbated in warmer climates. While not asโ breathable โas mesh chairs, it isโ reportedly better than chairs covered in vegan leather.
The Omni’s armrestsโค offer adjustments for height, forward/backward position, and inward/outward angle, though they lack the side-to-side movement found on higher-end models like the โHerman Miller Embody. LiberNovo emphasizes the armrests’ stability,addressing โa common issue with cheaper โคchairs.
Theโ companyโข currently lists the Omni for sale at $848, a discount from โคthe $1,099 MSRP.The long-term durabilityโข of the fabric, which tends to collect hair, remains to beโ seen after extended use.
