LiberNovo at ORGATEC 2026: The Future of Dynamic Ergonomic Workplace Seating

What should the office chair look like when the office itself is constantly changing?

That is one of the questions LiberNovo will explore at ORGATEC 2026, where the company will showcase its approach to dynamic ergonomic seating and demonstrate how adaptive chairs can become part of smarter, more flexible workplace environments.

Taking place in Cologne from 27–30 October 2026, ORGATEC is the leading international trade fair for the modern working world, focusing on the design, organisation and future of workspaces and project environments.

For LiberNovo, ORGATEC provides an opportunity to take the conversation around dynamic ergonomics beyond the individual home office and into the wider world of commercial spaces and workplace solutions. At Hall 5.2, Stand D040 C041, LiberNovo will demonstrate how a new generation of adaptive seating can support businesses and the people using their spaces.

 

ORGATEC 2026: Designing for a Changing Workplace

The theme of ORGATEC 2026 — “From rooms to relationships: designing spaces in an ever-changing world” — reflects the transformation taking place across modern workplaces.

Digitalisation, hybrid working, sustainability and changing expectations around collaboration are reshaping how professional environments are planned and used. The result is greater emphasis on flexible spaces that can accommodate different people, activities and ways of working.

That philosophy has clear parallels with LiberNovo's approach to seating.

The modern office is no longer simply a collection of fixed desks assigned to individual employees. A single workplace might incorporate focused workstations, collaboration areas, meeting rooms, shared desks and flexible spaces that change purpose throughout the day.

If the workplace is becoming more adaptive, shouldn't the ergonomic office chair become more adaptive too?

 

The Future of Workplace Seating Is Dynamic

Traditional ergonomic chairs are typically built around adjustment. Users alter the seat height, lumbar support, armrests and recline until they find a comfortable configuration.

LiberNovo approaches the problem differently.

Its Omni family is built around the concept of dynamic ergonomics — supporting the user as they change position rather than expecting them to maintain one predetermined posture throughout the working day.

The Bionic FlexFit Backrest is designed to articulate as the user's position changes, while LiberNovo's Dynamic Support System coordinates different areas of support as the chair moves.

The current Omni Gen and Omni Pro also offer five recline positions ranging from 105° to 160°, allowing the chair to transition between focused working positions and more relaxed postures.

For workplace designers, facilities teams and commercial buyers, that creates an interesting proposition: an ergonomic office chair designed not simply for adjustability, but for movement.

 

 

From Individual Chairs to Workplace Solutions

At ORGATEC, LiberNovo will place this technology within B2B workplace scenarios, demonstrating how dynamic ergonomic seating can fit into the different spaces and activities found in today's offices.

ORGATEC itself reflects this shift. Its Workspace Solutions segment covers areas including office and conference furniture, smart-office technology, ergonomic workplace equipment and solutions for hybrid and mobile work.

Adaptability is becoming increasingly relevant to all of them.

Hybrid working means the same workstation might be occupied by different people throughout the week. Employees also move between individual work, meetings and collaboration rather than remaining at a single desk all day.

For commercial furniture, that means designing for changing users, activities and spaces.

Adaptive seating brings that philosophy directly to the chair.

 

Omni Gen: Dynamic Ergonomics for Modern Work

The LiberNovo Omni Gen demonstrates how this approach can translate into everyday workplace seating.

Its Bionic FlexFit Backrest, Dynamic Support System and 50 mm electric lumbar adjustment are designed to provide responsive support as the user changes position. Five recline positions — 105°, 115°, 125°, 135° and 160° — allow users to move between more focused and relaxed postures.

The important distinction isn't simply the number of adjustments. It's how those elements work together.

For workplaces increasingly designed around flexibility, Omni Gen represents a different approach to ergonomic solutions for commercial spaces: seating designed to accommodate movement rather than treating it as something that takes the user away from an optimal position.

 

Omni Pro: Bringing Smart Comfort to the Workplace

The Omni Pro builds on the same dynamic ergonomic foundation while adding features aimed at creating a more premium seating experience.

Most notably, Omni Pro introduces Active Airflow Seat Ventilation, which uses a centrifugal fan to bring active airflow to the seat itself delivering cooling exactly where it is needed. It also upgrades the specification with Gabriel fabric, a die-cast aluminium base and a larger 3,000 mAh battery.

That makes Omni Pro particularly interesting in the context of emerging smart office furniture trends.

Workplace technology doesn't always need to mean another screen, sensor platform or piece of software. It can also mean integrating technology intelligently into the everyday objects people interact with.

In Omni Pro, airflow, powered lumbar adjustment and dynamic support become part of the seating experience itself.

 

 

Designing Offices Around People

Perhaps the strongest connection between LiberNovo and ORGATEC 2026 is a shared emphasis on the people occupying tomorrow's spaces.

The future office isn't simply about putting more technology into a building. It's about using technology and design intelligently to create environments capable of responding to people.

The same principle applies to seating.

People lean forward, sit back, collaborate, concentrate and move between desks and spaces throughout the day. The furniture around them needs to accommodate those changes.

For LiberNovo, exhibiting at ORGATEC provides an opportunity to demonstrate how its dynamic ergonomic technology can translate into the commercial workplace.

Architects, interior designers, workplace strategists, facilities professionals, dealers and commercial buyers will be able to experience LiberNovo's approach to dynamic seating and support and consider how solutions such as the Omni Gen and Omni Pro can fit within the next generation of working environments.

Because as offices become smarter, more flexible and more human-centred, the furniture inside them needs to evolve too.

At ORGATEC 2026, LiberNovo will showcase a simple idea for the future of workplace seating: instead of asking people to adapt to their chairs, create chairs designed to adapt to people.
