LiberNovo Maxis ergonomic chair raises the bar for big‑and‑tall professionals

Announcement

LiberNovo has unveiled the Maxis ergonomic chair, a new line aimed at big‑and‑tall office workers who have struggled with standard‑size chairs. The Maxis family arrives alongside two fresh Omni models – the SE and the Pro – and will begin shipping in mid‑June.

Key features retained from the Omni

• Bionic FlexFit Backrest – a flexible polymer that mirrors the natural curve of the spine.
• Dynamic Support System – sensors adjust lumbar pressure in real time.
• 5‑position recline with a six‑spring controlled mechanism that ramps up support as the angle increases.
• Motorized Massage Mode for periodic back‑muscle relief.
• Active AirFlow seat ventilation (on the Maxis Airflow and Omni Pro models) that pulls cool air through micro‑perforated foam.

All of these technologies earned the original LiberNovo Omni the Red Dot: Product Design 2026, iF Design Award 2026 and Greenguard Gold certification. The Maxis keeps every one of them.

What makes the Maxis different

Geometry built for larger frames

• Seat depth: an extra 52 mm (2 in) gives full thigh support, preventing legs from dangling.
• Head‑rest travel: up to 120 mm of upward adjustment and a U‑shaped curve for proper neck alignment.
• Arm‑rest arc: a wider, curved profile lets broader shoulders rest without pressing into the torso.
• Weight capacity: reinforced frame supports up to 180 kg (397 lb) while maintaining the smooth recline of the Dynamic Support System.

Re‑engineered recline

The six‑spring Controlled Recline System engages progressively based on both angle and user weight. Early angles feel light, while deeper recline stages lock in with increasing resistance, eliminating the sudden “drop” feel common in many office chairs.

Model lineup

Ecosystem context

LiberNovo’s approach mirrors a broader shift in the office‑furniture market: rather than offering a one‑size‑fits‑all product, manufacturers are creating size‑specific lines that retain core technology. By keeping the Dynamic Ergonomics platform consistent across the Omni and Maxis families, LiberNovo ensures that accessories – such as the optional footrest, cable‑management tray, or the proprietary app that logs posture data – work interchangeably. This reduces lock‑in friction for companies that may already have Omni chairs in their workspaces while still giving big‑and‑tall users a purpose‑built solution.
