How many hours a day do you spend sitting in an ergonomic chair? If you’re the average American, you likely sit for about 9.5 hours daily. Between working in office settings and gaming in our free time, we spend a lot of time sitting. This sedentary lifestyle is a uniquely modern problem, as bad posture and inadequate support while sitting for prolonged periods can result in fatigue and spinal misalignment, among other issues.
Our day jobs – whether we work in an office or at home – can leave us with little to no choice in how long we spend sitting down. Simply put, sitting isn’t optional. But using a supportive chair is. LiberNovo, a Hong Kong-based design company aiming to reinvent the way people live and work, has designed the LiberNovo Omni – a truly innovative desk chair that reimagines the way your seat supports your body.
Flexible and adaptive
Most desk chairs, while ergonomic, are stiff and rigid by design. They may provide support for your lower back initially, but as your body adjusts and experiences micro-movements throughout the day, these ergonomic chairs can become restrictive. The Omni from LiberNovo is a more flexible solution that provides support for your body so you don't have to compromise comfort or productivity.
The Omni’s Bionic FlexiFit backrest really does the heavy lifting when it comes to long-term support. The FlexiFit backrest is built with eight adaptive panels connected via 16 precision joints that mirror your spine’s natural S-curve. LiberNovo’s SynchroLock mechanism ensures that the Omni’s seat, back, and armrests all move together to keep you comfortable and supported all day via a gapless, contour-hugging design. This design moves with you instead of restricting you to a static seating position.
The lower back is fully supported by the Omni’s Bionic FlexiFit backrest, while allowing your shoulders to relax and your elbows to rest on the armrests at a 90-degree angle. The adjustable seat allows the armrests to align with the desk. The ergonomic headrest gently cradles and supports the neck, while your feet can sit either flat on the floor or on the optional footrest for optimal positioning. This chair provides support from head to toe, and it's adjustable and flexible, moving with you when and where you need it.
Traditional ergonomic chairs require you to manually adjust and manipulate them to fit your body as you move throughout the day. But the designers at LiberNovo understand that even while seated, your body needs a chair with the freedom to flex and move with you. The Omni’s Dynamic Support System hugs your body and supports your posture, whether you’re sitting up and locked in for productivity or kicked back ready to relax with your favorite games.
The LiberNovo Omni doesn’t just hug your body, though. Its unique OmniStretch Mode is inspired by spinal care concepts to gently stretch your spine and relax tense muscles — carefully soothing and decompressing your back for just 5 minutes can leave you feeling refreshed and better prepared for the rest of your work day.
Inclined to recline
Multitasking is the norm for many of us, and desk chairs should provide ample support regardless of the task we’re working on. For back-to-back meetings and work calls, you may want to sit up and be alert, focusing deeply on the tasks at hand. The Omni dynamic, ergonomic desk chair offers a 105-degree reclining option that's proven to improve focus and reduce muscle pressure so you stay comfortable even when you’re deep into your workday.
Once your productivity has kicked into high gear, you may relax into a steadier flow state, just vibing with the workflow while editing videos or coding. The Omni ergonomic chair can recline to Solo-Work mode, with a 120-degree recline that boosts oxygen flow by 15%. Keep your brain sharp and stay in that creative zen moment while gaming or studying.
The LiberNovo Omni is built to keep your eyes on the screen, aligning the chair’s headrest and backrest seamlessly when tilted. The Omni’s armrests slide back 100mm for ergonomic support, whether you’re working, gaming, or relaxing.
After the workday is done, you can reach peak relaxation with 135-degree Soft Recline mode. This is just the perfect angle for laid-back gaming and watching entertainment at your desk while still being properly supported even during those long sessions. When you’re ready to rest, you can kick all the way back to Spine Flow mode and enjoy a 160-degree recline for full-body decompression. Decompressing the spine is also a great way to reset your posture midday and relieve stiffness so you're ready to go for the second half of your workday.
Next level comfort, available for preorder now
LiberNovo’s design team has focused on bringing innovative materials to its flagship dynamic, ergonomic chair. The chair’s triple-layer fit features skin-friendly, linen-like fabric covering a soft, spongy layer that provides pressure relief while molding to your back and enhancing comfort. Quality fabric and comfortable foam wrap around aerospace-grade panels that adapt to your body’s contours.
The LiberNovo Omni dynamic, ergonomic chair smashed records when it launched on Kickstarter in June, becoming the highest-funded ergonomic chair in Kickstarter history. The Omni is a modern-day solution to the modern-day problem of stiffness and discomfort as a result of prolonged sitting for work and creative efforts.
