LiberNovo Omni Pro Dynamic Ergonomic Chair

The LiberNovo Omni Pro is the flagship, and the feature that earns the name is the ventilated seat: a centrifugal fan under the cushion spinning at 4,000 RPM, with two speeds and occupancy detection so it runs only while you are sitting on it. Neither the standard Omni nor the Omni SE has it. If you work through an Australian summer in a room without air conditioning, that is the whole argument for the Pro.

The Pro also upgrades the materials, not just the electronics. The upholstery is Gabriel Atlantic, a Danish contract fabric rated to 110,000 Martindale abrasion cycles and OEKO-TEX certified, where the Omni and SE use LiberNovo's standard stretch fabric. The base is aluminium alloy rather than reinforced nylon, and the battery is 3,000 mAh against the standard Omni's 2,200 mAh, because it has a fan to run as well as the lumbar motor.

• Active AirFlow seat ventilation — 4,000 RPM centrifugal fan, two speeds, automatic occupancy detection
• Motorised All-In-Fit lumbar with powered travel, plus the OmniStretch cycle
• Gabriel Atlantic Danish upholstery — 110,000 Martindale, OEKO-TEX certified — in Glacier, Graphite or Starship Grey
• Aluminium alloy base in place of the nylon base used on the Omni and SE
• 3,000 mAh battery — LiberNovo rates about 36 hours of ventilation on low, 9 hours on high, or roughly 30 days on one lumbar stretch cycle a day
• Five locking recline positions, 105° to 160°, and the eight-panel Bionic FlexFit backrest
• Independent two-stage StepSync footrest included; 4D armrests and a hydrophilic memory-foam headrest
• 48 cm seat; rated for users 153–186 cm and up to 136 kg (BIFMA; 110 kg under EN 1335)

Worth knowing: running the fan is the thing that shortens time between charges, so on high you will be recharging far more often than an Omni owner does.

LiberNovo's own Australian store does not sell the Pro at all; it lists the standard Omni and the footrest only. Aussie Chair is an official authorised LiberNovo dealer for Australia and New Zealand, so the Pro comes with the full manufacturer warranty: five years on the frame, two years on the motor and electronics.Try it at our Sydney (South Granville) or Melbourne (Nunawading) showroom.
