LiberNovo

LiberNovo ergonomic chairs in Australia, including the Omni SE, Omni Gen, Omni Pro and original Omni. The Omni range uses an adaptive backrest designed to move with the user, and the chairs can be tried at our Pyrmont showroom by appointment. Compare the models below and read the fit guide before choosing.

LiberNovo makes dynamic ergonomic chairs. Instead of one fixed backrest shell, the Omni range uses a panelled Bionic FlexFit backrest that reshapes as you move, so it keeps supporting you when you lean forward, twist or recline. On the powered models, a button on the armrest adjusts the lumbar and runs OmniStretch, a five-minute stretch for your lower back.

We hold LiberNovo chairs in our Sydney warehouse, have them set up to sit in at our Pyrmont showroom, and handle warranty claims ourselves rather than sending you to an overseas inbox.

The Omni Gen replaces the original Omni

LiberNovo has discontinued the original Omni and replaced it with the Omni Gen. The Gen keeps the powered lumbar and OmniStretch, and adds a fifth recline position, armrests that slide back up to 100mm, a headrest with more adjustment and thicker padding at the front of the seat. We stock it in Graphite and Glacier.

We are selling our final units of the original Omni in the colours we have left. When they are gone, they are gone. The Omni SE and Omni Pro continue unchanged.

What a LiberNovo costs in Australia

Current prices, including GST, are on each product page. The Omni SE and Omni Pro include the footrest; the Omni Gen is sold chair only. When you compare sellers, check whether the chair is in stock or on pre-order, whether the price includes the footrest, and who will handle a warranty claim.

The one spec worth getting right before you order

The Omni is made with a 45cm or 48cm seat depth, fixed at purchase. We stock the 48cm only. There is no seat slider and no swapping it later. If you have long legs for your height, this matters more than which model you choose, so call us on 02 9640 0642 before you order.

LiberNovo rates the range for people from 153cm to 186cm, and to 136kg under BIFMA X5.1 (110kg under the European EN 1335 standard). Above that, LiberNovo's big-and-tall Maxis is the better fit; ask us about it.

Warranty, and what you are entitled to

Chair Dinkum warrants the LiberNovo chairs we sell for five years on the frame and two years on the motor and electronics (battery, actuator and wiring). The Omni SE has no electronics, so only the frame term applies to it. Final-stock original Omni chairs carry the same warranty. Australian Consumer Law guarantees apply on top of any warranty, including ours, cannot be excluded or shortened, and run against the business that sold you the chair. Full terms for every brand are on our warranty page.

LiberNovo Omni buying guide

LiberNovo builds dynamic ergonomic chairs. Rather than holding you in one correct posture, the Omni range uses a Bionic FlexFit backrest that reshapes as you move. LiberNovo's current Omni family is the Omni SE, Omni Gen and Omni Pro, alongside the big-and-tall Maxis. We sell the manual Omni SE, the powered Omni Gen and original-generation Omni, and the Omni Pro with seat ventilation.

How to choose between the Omni SE, Omni and Omni Pro

Start with whether you want electronics in the chair. The Omni SE gives you the same Bionic FlexFit backrest as the rest of the range with a manual lumbar dial and no battery, motor or wiring, which makes it the one to choose if you want the least to go wrong over a ten year ownership period.

Move up to the Omni for the powered lumbar. A button on the armrest drives the lumbar pad through 50mm of travel, so you adjust without leaving the chair or reaching under the seat for a dial, and it adds the five minute OmniStretch traction cycle the SE does not have. It is available with or without the StepSync footrest, and our warranty is five years on the frame and two years on the motor and electronics.

The Omni Pro adds active seat ventilation, a die cast aluminium alloy base and Danish Gabriel Atlantic fabric rated to 120,000 Martindale cycles, along with the powered lumbar and OmniStretch. It earns the extra money if your room runs warm or you sit for very long stretches. The fan is the upgrade; everything else is trim.

What dynamic ergonomics actually means

Most ergonomic chairs are adjusted once and then hold you still. A dynamic chair is built on the opposite idea: that no single posture is healthy for eight hours, and that the chair should follow you as you shift.

In the Omni this is done mechanically. The Bionic FlexFit backrest uses eight flexible panels, fourteen dual connection points and sixteen spherical pivots, so the headrest, backrest, armrests and seat move together rather than as separate parts, through four recline positions on the original-generation Omni and five on the Omni Gen, SE and Pro. The practical effect is that you keep contact with the backrest when you lean forward to type, which is the moment most chairs abandon you.

One point of precision, because it is widely got wrong: the powered lumbar is not sensor driven and does not adjust itself. You control it from the armrest, and it moves in depth rather than height.

The range is BIFMA X5.1 certified, and LiberNovo announced an iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 for the Omni. For the full picture, including the criticisms, see our 30 day LiberNovo Omni review or our LiberNovo Omni range guide.

The Omni is hard to judge from a photograph, because what it does only becomes obvious once you move in it. We have the range set up to sit in.

Frequently asked questions

Which LiberNovo Omni should I buy?

The Omni SE suits most people and keeps the dynamic backrest without any electronics. Choose the Omni if you want powered lumbar adjustment and the five minute OmniStretch traction cycle, or the Omni Pro if your room runs warm and you want seat ventilation.

What is the difference between the Omni SE and the Omni?

Both use the same Bionic FlexFit backrest. The Omni SE adjusts lumbar support with a manual dial and has no battery or motor. The Omni adjusts lumbar support with a powered actuator you control from the armrest, adds the five minute OmniStretch cycle, and includes a footrest.

Does the LiberNovo Omni need charging?

The Omni SE does not, because it is entirely manual. The original-generation Omni runs its powered lumbar off a removable 2,200mAh battery that LiberNovo rates at around 30 days on one stretch per day. The Omni Pro uses a 3,000mAh battery, which LiberNovo rates at up to 14 hours with the seat fan running and up to 30 days of daily use with it off. Recharging the Omni takes about three and a half hours over USB-C, and every other function on the chair keeps working while the battery is flat. Chair Dinkum's warranty covers the motor and electronics for two years, separate from the five-year frame warranty.

Is the LiberNovo Omni certified for commercial use?

Yes. The range is BIFMA X5.1 certified and tested for long term durability, and also holds UL962, FCC and RoHS certification. LiberNovo announced an iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 for the Omni.

How does the Omni compare to a HAG or Herman Miller chair?

The difference is who does the adjusting. A HAG Capisco asks you to keep changing position yourself, and a Herman Miller Aeron supports one well judged posture in three body sizes. The Omni's backrest reshapes mechanically as you move, and its powered lumbar lets you change depth without leaving the chair. If you have tried conventional lumbar adjustment and never found a setting that held up over a full day, the Omni is the one to try.

Can I try one before buying?

Yes. The range is set up in our Pyrmont showroom by appointment, and the Omni is genuinely hard to assess without sitting in it. Allow at least fifteen minutes in the chair. Contact us to arrange a time.
