LiberNovo Omni Pro Dynamic Ergonomic Chair

The LiberNovo Omni Pro is the Omni with a fan in the seat, and if you have ever peeled yourself off a foam chair in February that sentence is the whole pitch.

Everything that makes an Omni an Omni is here: the Bionic FlexFit backrest of eight flexible panels on sixteen spherical pivots, the SyncroLink motion that moves headrest, backrest, seat and armrests together, and the motorised lumbar with 50mm of powered travel plus the five-minute OmniStretch traction cycle. The Pro adds three things on top.

Active AirFlow: the reason to buy this model

A centrifugal fan built into the seat pan moves heat and moisture away from your body through a layered cushion. Two speed levels, and a sensor that pauses the fan when you stand and resumes when you sit back down. Its own 3,000 mAh battery runs up to 36 hours on low or up to 9 hours on high — a full working day — and charges separately from the 2,200mAh battery that drives the lumbar actuator.

Manufacturers do not engineer a blower into a seat pan to solve a problem that does not exist. The standard Omni's seat is the warm half of that chair. If you are in Brisbane, Perth or Darwin, or in a home office without air conditioning, this is the version of the Omni that works where you live.

The other two upgrades

A reinforced aluminium alloy five-star base in place of the reinforced nylon one, and Danish Gabriel Atlantic fabric, a high-durability contract upholstery. The Pro also carries the 2026 range refinements: five recline positions instead of four, 96mm of armrest height travel, a reinforced seat front edge and a smoother lumbar mechanism.

Honest framing: the base and the fabric are genuinely nicer, but they are trim. The fan is the upgrade. In a climate-controlled office, the standard Omni does almost everything this chair does for several hundred dollars less, and we would rather tell you that than sell you the wrong one.

Will it fit you?

• Height: 153–186 cm (5'0"–6'1"), per LiberNovo's published fit range.
• Maximum load: 136 kg under BIFMA X5.1; LiberNovo separately publishes 110 kg under EN 1335, which is the figure an Australian commercial specifier is more likely to be held to. Above 136 kg, the LiberNovo Maxis is the right chair.
• Seat depth: LiberNovo offers this chair with a 45 cm or 48 cm seat depth, fixed at purchase. We stock the 48 cm only. If you have short legs for your height, sit in one before you order.
• Lumbar: 50mm of motorised travel, depth only — it does not adjust for height.
