LiberNovo: the Omni chair built to move with your back, not against it
Born from one founder's chronic back pain, LiberNovo's Omni chair uses a patented dynamic support system.
LiberNovo makes one kind of object: a chair that moves as you do. The brand was founded by Yanle, who had previously worked at Narwal and developed chronic back pain from long hours at a desk. That experience became the starting point for the Omni, LiberNovo’s flagship model, built around a patented dynamic support system the company calls SyncroLink.
How it started
Most office chairs ask the body to adapt to fixed positions. LiberNovo’s founder, Yanle, approached the problem from the opposite direction after suffering from work-related back pain. Rather than adding more adjustment knobs, the idea was to build a chair whose seat, backrest and armrests respond together, in real time, as the person sitting shifts posture. That thinking led to the Omni, the chair around which the rest of the LiberNovo range has since grown.
The range
The Omni is the core model, launched in June 2025 as LiberNovo’s first dynamic ergonomic chair. Since then, the range has expanded in several directions rather than simply adding colours. The Omni Moss Green, released in January 2026, introduced a new fabric option. The Omni Pro, launched in June 2026, is a premium configuration that adds seat ventilation. The same month brought the Omni SE, a version with manual adjustment for people who prefer to set their own positions rather than rely on automatic response, and the Maxis, a version reworked for larger body frames. Most recently, in July 2026, a further configuration — the Omni Gen Dynamic Ergonomic Chair — was added to the shop. Together, the line reads less like a family of colours and more like a set of answers to different bodies and different ways of sitting.
The engineering behind it
At the centre of every Omni model sits SyncroLink, LiberNovo’s patented mechanism. According to the brand, SyncroLink keeps the seat, backrest and armrests moving in sync, even during active movement, rather than treating each part as a separate adjustment to set once and forget. LiberNovo states that the Omni is the world’s first dynamic ergonomic chair, a claim tied directly to this mechanism. Behind it stands a team of more than 300 people and more than 60 patent filings, built on more than 900 days of research and development. For someone sitting in it, the practical difference is that repositioning the body doesn’t mean fighting the chair — the structure is designed to follow.
What the brand stands for
LiberNovo’s central claim is a health one: the brand states that its chair is designed to relieve back pain, directly addressing the problem that led to its founder creating the company in the first place. That claim runs through the whole range — from the original Omni to the Pro, SE and Maxis variants — rather than being limited to a single flagship product. The emphasis stays on how the chair behaves under real, changing posture, not on aesthetics alone, though the company has also introduced fabric and colour options such as Moss Green.
Right now
LiberNovo has moved quickly since the Omni’s original launch, with four further versions or configurations released in the space of about a year: Moss Green, Pro, SE and Maxis, followed by the Omni Gen Dynamic Ergonomic Chair listed in the shop in July 2026. The O!deal team met LiberNovo at IFA Berlin 2026.
Why we like it
We like that LiberNovo starts from a real problem — a founder's own back pain — rather than a trend. The idea that seat, backrest and armrests move together as one system, instead of adjusting separately, is a genuinely different way to think about a chair.
Exactly the kind of brand we’d love to come across on O!deal one day.
