LiberNovo 2026 Triple Launch: SE, Pro, and Maxis Introduce Dynamic Ergonomics for Every Body Type Across Europe18.5.2026 19:00:00 CEST | Press release
LONDON, GB / ACCESS Newswire / May 18, 2026 / LiberNovo, the premium ergonomic chair brand pioneering movement-based seating, today confirmed the full details of its 2026 product expansion for the European market. Three new lines-the Omni SE, Omni Pro, and the all-new Maxis series-will be available to customers across the UK and EU starting June 16, with pre-orders now open.

Most ergonomic seating still operates on a decades-old premise: find the correct posture, lock it in, stay put. LiberNovo rejects that model entirely. Its Dynamic Ergonomics platform is built around continuous adaptation-chairs that respond to how users actually move through their day, rather than forcing them into a fixed position. With three distinct product lines, that approach now reaches users of every build and budget. Omn
