LiberNovo Launches Maxis Motorized Office Chair for Tall Users
New ergonomic chair features motorized lumbar support, cooling fans, and deep recline capabilities.
1Targeting Larger Ergonomic Needs
LiberNovo introduces the Maxis line, specifically engineered for users between 5'10" and 6'7". Rated to support 399 lbs, the chair is certified to BIFMA X5.11 standards. Unlike standard models, the design team resized critical components like seat depth and headrest travel to accommodate larger frames without compromising structural integrity or comfort.
2Evolution of Dynamic Seating
Drawing inspiration from the 1976 Vertebra chair, the Maxis features a multi-jointed backrest with 14 dual-link points and 16 ball joints. It offers five recline stops ranging from 105 to 160 degrees. Six internal springs engage progressively based on user weight, ensuring smooth transitions while maintaining consistent support throughout the entire reclining motion.
3Manual Versus Electric Options
The base Manual model relies on dial-based lumbar adjustments, while the Electric version integrates an ErgoPulse motor powered by a 2,200 mAh battery. This upgrade eliminates manual knob-twisting by automatically positioning the lumbar zone. The Electric model also introduces OmniStretch, a five-minute motorized stretching sequence designed to provide relief during long work sessions.
4Advanced Cooling and Battery
The Airflow variant adds a 4,000 RPM centrifugal fan to the Electric feature set. It utilizes a five-layer seat construction to pull air through the fabric, with an occupancy sensor that pauses operation when the chair is empty. The battery capacity is increased to 3,000 mAh, keeping fan noise levels under 45 decibels.
5Premium Materials and Durability
All models utilize Danish Gabriel Atlantic fabric, which is rated for over 100,000 abrasion rubs, ensuring long-term durability for heavy daily use. The multi-density cushion is engineered to be firmer at the rear for stability and softer at the front edge to reduce pressure on the thighs during extended periods of seated work.
6Black Friday Sales Strategy
LiberNovo begins its US holiday sale on November 19, offering discounts up to 42% off list prices. The company provides 30-day price protection for early buyers, mitigating risks associated with potential further price drops. Additionally, US customers can utilize four-part 0% interest payment plans through Klarna to manage the purchase cost effectively.
7Warranty and Support Terms
Every Maxis chair is protected by a six-year warranty covering the frame, while electronic components receive a two-year warranty. Spending thresholds unlock additional gift tiers, including travel kits with inflatable neck pillows and eye masks. These support structures aim to provide long-term reliability for the chair's motorized and mechanical components.
8The Future of Office Seating
Fifty years after the introduction of the first automatically adjustable chair, LiberNovo aims to refine the user experience by minimizing manual interaction. By integrating motorized lumbar support and cooling, the company seeks to create a seamless seating environment where the chair adapts to the user, ultimately reducing the need for constant physical adjustments.
