LiberNovo makes the most genuinely new thing to happen to office seating in a decade: a backrest built from eight hinged panels instead of one fixed shell, so it reshapes as you move rather than holding you against a contour you chose an hour ago. On the powered models, a button on the armrest will also give your lower back a five-minute traction stretch while you sit.
We hold the range in Sydney, we have them set up to sit in, and we handle warranty here rather than routing you to an overseas inbox.
What a LiberNovo costs in Australia
Prices include GST, current as at 20 August 2026. The Omni SE is $1,299 with the footrest included, down from $1,499. The standard Omni is $1,359 chair-only or $1,459 with the StepSync footrest. The Omni Pro is $1,999, footrest included. Across the wider Australian market the standard Omni generally runs between about $1,199 and $1,699 depending on the retailer, the configuration and whatever promotion is live — so check what is actually in stock rather than on pre-order, whether the price includes the footrest, and who handles a warranty claim before you compare numbers.
The one spec worth getting right before you order
The Omni comes in a 450mm or 480mm seat depth, and it is fixed at purchase. There is no slider and no swapping it later. If you have long legs for your height, this single decision matters more than which model you choose — ring us on 02 9640 0642 before you order and we will talk it through honestly.
The rest of the fit envelope: 153–186cm user height, 136kg maximum load under BIFMA X5.1, seat height 420–530mm, chair weight 22kg. Above 136kg or 186cm, the big-and-tall LiberNovo Maxis is the correct chair rather than the Omni. And if you are light-framed — under about 65kg — independent reviewers have found the seat foam firm, so a sit test is worth the trip.
Warranty, and what you are actually entitled to
LiberNovo's terms are five years on the frame and mechanical components, two years on the electronics (battery, actuator, wiring). You will see Australian sellers quoting twelve months or a flat five years; both are wrong. Separately, Australian Consumer Law guarantees of acceptable quality and reasonable durability apply on top of any manufacturer's warranty and cannot be excluded or shortened by it — and those rights run against the business that sold you the chair. Buy from us and that is a Sydney company with the stock on the ground and a phone number.
